Does the value of Prism calculation fields change at run time?

In the context of Workday Prism, the value of calculation fields is established at the time the report or calculation is executed, rather than changing dynamically at run time. This means that once the calculation field is defined and published, it holds a consistent value throughout the reporting or calculation process until any updates to the underlying data necessitate a new execution of the calculation.

The static nature of calculation fields allows for predictable and reliable outputs, ensuring consistency in reporting and analytics. Any updates to these fields or their calculations require re-execution or re-publishing, rather than real-time changes as the report runs. Understanding this property of Prism calculation fields is essential for effectively managing and utilizing data within Workday reports.
