Concept: Dataset Field Origin

You can see where a dataset field originates in pipelines for derived datasets. When tracing a field’s origin, Workday searches for the location where the field is first introduced. Workday displays the most upstream field that you have permission on. To see the first occurrence of a field, you must have permission to view or edit transformations on all the datasets in the field’s lineage including its first occurrence.

Examples of original fields include:

Fields in base datasets created from version 1 of the Prism Analytics REST API.
Fields in the Parse stage of a base dataset.
Fields in tables.
Fields in the Unpivot and Group by stages if the field is created within the stage.
Output fields in the Union stage.
Prism calculated fields.
