If you use a Self-referencing Instance field in a viz, it displays as a Single
Instance field.
Use optimized fields whenever possible to improve
performance. When creating or editing a viz, Workday displays a blue dot and tip
text messages on fields optimized for performance. Data source fields might be
optimized for different purposes. You can achieve better performance when you use
fields optimized for grouping, aggregation, or filtering. Workday optimizes all
fields in Prism data sources, and some fields in indexed Workday-delivered data
sources.
