If a dataset in Prism needs to be modified, what is the first step?

When modifying a dataset in Workday Prism, the first step typically involves republishing the dataset. Republishing ensures that any changes made to the data or its structure are properly reflected in the system. This process effectively updates the dataset and any associated visualizations or reports that depend on it.

Prior to republishing, it's essential to ensure that any modifications are properly executed. In many data environments, simply editing the dataset directly or reimporting data may not be sufficient on their own to propagate changes, whereas republishing takes all modifications into account and finalizes them within the system. This holistic approach maintains data integrity and ensures that all users accessing the dataset receive updated information reliably.

In the context of operational procedures, notifying users of changes is important once modifications are done, but it follows the technical steps of editing the dataset. Hence, that action is more relevant after datasets have been modified and republished rather than being the initial step in making data modifications.
