What action inactivates a Prism data source?

In the context of Workday Prism, inactivating a data source typically involves removing access to that data source for reporting and analysis purposes. When you delete published rows from a Prism data source, you are essentially making those specific rows inactive within the context of that data source. This action prevents the deleted data from being included in future reports or analyses, effectively inactivating it.

This is critical for maintaining accurate data representations and ensuring that stakeholders are only working with relevant information. Inactive data rows will not be considered in calculations or visualizations, thus sustaining the integrity of your reports.

Other actions like filtering published rows or changing field visibility do not inactivate a data source. Filtering merely restricts what is visible for reporting but does not remove or inactivate the data. Changing field visibility affects how data is displayed but does not alter the status of the data. Republishing the source typically updates it with potentially new data, rather than inactivating existing data.
