Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
In Workday Prism Analytics, the Explode stage transforms a multi-instance field (e.g., Language Skills) into multiple rows, creating a new single-instance field (e.g., Language Skills Exploded). The resulting field inherits the business object (BO) mapping from the original multi-instance field, but this mapping can be modified if needed. According to the official Workday Prism Analytics study path documents, to change the business object that the new Language Skills Exploded instance field is mapped to, you should add a Manage Fields stage after the Explode stage and modify the business object (option D).
The Manage Fields stage allows you to edit field properties, including the business object mapping, for the exploded field. After the Explode stage creates the new single-instance field, the Manage Fields stage can be used to reassign the business object by selecting a different Workday business object (e.g., changing from a generic object to a specific one like "Language"). This step ensures the field is mapped correctly for downstream reporting or integration with Workday reports.
The other options are incorrect:
A. Select from the list of suggested BO values in the Explode stage configuration: The Explode stage does not provide an option to modify business object mappings during its configuration; it focuses on exploding the multi-instance field.
B. Click on the Related Actions next to the business object in the insight panel: The insight panel provides metadata insights but does not allow direct modification of business object mappings for fields.
C. Add a Manage Fields before the Explode stage and modify the business object: Modifying the business object before the Explode stage affects the original multi-instance field, but the Explode stage will still create the new field with the inherited mapping, so this does not achieve the goal.
Adding a Manage Fields stage after the Explode stage is the correct approach to modify the business object mapping of the new exploded field.
