Steps: Convert an External Dimension Text Field to an Instance Field

You can store external dimension data in Workday as instance data in order to convert a dataset Text field to an Instance field. For more information, see Concept: Analytic Dimensions.
  1. Add the stage to a derived dataset to convert a Text field to an Instance field. Select the analytic dimension business object you created that contains the dimension values in the Text field.
You can publish the dataset to update the fields in the associated Prism data source. When you use the updated Prism data source in a Workday reporting tool, you can use the new Instance field.
