What must be done before a workbook containing a reference worksheet can be utilized?

Before a workbook containing a reference worksheet can be utilized, it is essential to first add the workbook as a workbook dependency. This step ensures that the workbook can correctly access and utilize the data and references from the original worksheet. When a workbook is designated as a dependency, it allows for the establishment of necessary relationships and connections within the system, facilitating accurate data retrieval and calculations.

This process is critical in environments where multiple workbooks may interact with one another, as it helps to maintain data integrity and consistency across the various sources. Adding a workbook as a dependency ensures that any changes made to the reference worksheet are reflected in other associated workbooks, thereby enhancing the overall functionality and accuracy of the analysis performed within the Kinaxis RapidResponse platform.

The other options do not address the requirements for utilizing a workbook with a reference worksheet in this context.
