[Publishing and Visualizing Data] A custom report uses your recently published Prism data source, but you noticed a minor error in the published dat a. You need to delete the published rows to fix it. What happens to your custom report?

Deleting the published rows from a Workday Prism Analytics data source is a data management operation that removes the data records but does not affect the data source's metadata (i.e., its schema, fields, and structure). Custom reports are built upon this metadata definition. Therefore, the report's definition remains completely intact and valid. The report will simply return no results until the corrected data is published again to the source, at which point it will function correctly without any required changes.

B. The report definition will need to be manually recreated. This is incorrect. Deleting data is not a destructive action on the report's metadata; the definition is preserved.
C. The report definition will be copied and a new version will appear after republishing. This is incorrect. Workday does not automatically create new versions or copies of report definitions when the underlying data is managed.
D. The report definition will need to be edited to reflect changes. This is incorrect. Editing is only necessary if the schema of the data source changes (e.g., a field is removed), not when only the data rows are deleted.

1. Workday Prism Analytics Documentation, "Manage Data in a Prism Data Source" section. This section details the available actions for a published data source, including "Delete Published Data." The documentation clarifies that this action affects only the data instance, not the data source definition or dependent objects like reports. The report definition remains linked to the unchanged data source schema.

2. Workday Prism Analytics Documentation, "Create a Custom Report on a Prism Data Source" section. This guide explains that a custom report's structure is tied to the fields available in the data source. As long as the fields remain the same, the report definition is valid, regardless of whether the data source currently contains zero or millions of rows.
