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 the Dataset REST API.
Fields in the Parse stage.
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.
