NEW QUESTION # 29
You need to filter a custom report to only return data on part-time employees.
To achieve this, what comparison type should you use when creating the filter?
- A. Value from another field
- B. Prompt the user for the value
- C. Value specified in this filter
- D. Prompt the user for the value and ignore the filter condition if the value is blank
Answer: C
Explanation:
When creating a custom report, filters restrict which data records are returned. Workday allows different comparison types for filters. The option "Value specified in this filter" lets you hard-code a condition (for example, Time Type = Part-Time), so the report consistently returns only part-time employees without requiring user input.
From the Workday Reporting documentation:
"Filter - Add conditions to filter the primary business object."
"Prompts - You can further narrow and refine your report results by having the user complete prompt fields before they run the report... or use value specified in this filter for fixed filtering." Therefore, the correct answer is C. Value specified in this filter.
NEW QUESTION # 30
The Chief Learning Officer wants you to build a report that lists all current learning content and any information you have relating to ratings and popularity.
How should you find the relevant fields and data sources that are available for you to create this report?
- A. Run the Workday Standard Reports report
- B. Access the View Custom Report task
- C. View the Learning dashboard
- D. Run the Business Object Details report
Answer: D
Explanation:
To locate the correct fields and data sources for a custom report, Workday provides the Business Object Details report. This report displays all available fields, relationships, and related business objects that can be included in reporting. It ensures report writers can confirm which fields (e.g., Learning Content, Ratings, Popularity) are accessible for use.
From the Workday Reporting documentation:
"The report data source provides the view into the primary business object. This object gives you access to class report fields as well as links to related business objects."
"The Business Object Details report is used to view which fields are available for reporting." Therefore, the correct answer is B. Run the Business Object Details report.
NEW QUESTION # 31
You want the ability to view every summarization in the composite report by Location.
What do you do?
- A. Include Location as a Detail Data field in all the subreports.
- B. Include Location as a drillable field in all the subreports.
- C. Include Location as a Detail Data field in one of the subreports.
- D. Include Location as a drillable field in one of the subreports.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Composite reports combine multiple subreports, and their summarizations depend on the fields configured in the subreports themselves. To enable consistent grouping and summarization across the entire composite report, the Location field must be included as a Detail Data field in all the subreports. This ensures that each subreport provides the Location context required for composite-level summarization.
From the Workday binder: "Composite reports aggregate results from multiple subreports. To summarize or drill consistently on a specific field, that field must exist as a Detail Data field in all subreports included in the composite." If Location is only included in one subreport, summarizations in the other subreports would not align, and Location-based grouping would fail. Similarly, making Location drillable only affects drill-down options, not summary-level grouping across the composite.
Thus, the correct answer is A. Include Location as a Detail Data field in all the subreports.
NEW QUESTION # 32
You need to create a matrix report that evaluates the effectiveness of recruiters on each region.
How can you ensure the report displays the percentage of hires for each recruiter in relation to all recruiters and regions?
- A. Create a Calculation summarization to show the percentage of hires for each region
- B. Select the Percent of Overall Total option on the Number of Hires summarization
- C. Create a calculated field using the Sum function on the Number of Hires summarization
- D. Use a Count summarization to aggregate all data at the row level
Answer: B
Explanation:
Matrix reports in Workday allow grouping of data, applying summarizations, and drilling into the summaries for deeper analysis . To calculate percentages relative to the overall total, Workday provides a built-in summarization option called "Percent of Overall Total." This option is applied to numeric summarizations like "Number of Hires." From the Workday Reporting Guide:
"Matrix reports allow you to group data, summarize the metrics for each grouping, and drill into the summarizations for further analysis."
"You can apply different summarizations such as Count, Sum, Average, and Percent of Overall Total on numeric fields." (Matrix Report Options - Workday Module 1 Binder) Therefore, to show the percentage of hires per recruiter relative to the grand total across recruiters and regions, you would select "Percent of Overall Total" on the Number of Hires summarization.
NEW QUESTION # 33
A report that uses an indexed data source is running slowly for an HR analyst. The report is sorted by the Worker object field.
What can you do to improve the sorting performance?
- A. Change the data source on the report
- B. Sort by the Full Name (text) field instead
- C. Select the Sort by First Accessible Column checkbox
- D. Create a calculated field that only pulls the first name of the worker
Answer: B
Explanation:
When reports use Indexed Data Sources, performance issues can arise if sorting is attempted on fields that are not indexed. In the case of the Worker object, sorting directly by the Worker object field is slower. Workday best practice is to sort by text-based fields such as the "Full Name (text)" field, which improves query performance because it leverages indexed fields.
From the Workday reporting materials:
*"For indexed data sources, performance improves when sorting by text fields such as Full Name (text), instead of object fields. Sorting by object fields causes slower performance, whereas text-based fields use the
NEW QUESTION # 34
You are building a report that shows employee performance ratings and their associated performance review details. The report uses the Performance Review primary business object. Using a calculated field, what formula should you use to retrieve the employee's job title from the related Worker business object?
- A. Lookup Range Band
- B. Evaluate Expression Band
- C. Lookup Related Value
- D. Aggregate Related Instances
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct choice is Lookup Related Value, because this function allows you to retrieve a field from a related business object that is not directly stored on your primary object. In this scenario, the primary business object is Performance Review, which holds performance-related data but not job-related data such as Job Title. Since Job Title resides on the Worker business object, you need to link from Performance Review to Worker and then retrieve Job Title.
The Workday reporting guide explains: "Lookup Related Value - Returns a field from a related business object. Use this to bring data from associated objects into a report when the field is not directly available on the primary object." . This ensures the Performance Review data can be combined with Job Title for meaningful insights.
By contrast, Aggregate Related Instances is used to roll up multiple related values, Range Band applies thresholds, and Evaluate Expression Band is used for conditional ranges, not cross-object retrieval.
NEW QUESTION # 35
You want the ability to view every summarization in the composite report by Location.
What do you do?
- A. Include Location as a Detail Data field in all the subreports.
- B. Include Location as a drillable field in all the subreports.
- C. Include Location as a Detail Data field in one of the subreports.
- D. Include Location as a drillable field in one of the subreports.
Answer: A
Explanation:
In composite reports, summarizations are driven by Detail Data fields provided by each subreport. If you want to summarize results consistently by Location across the entire composite report, Location must exist as a Detail Data field in every subreport.
Workday requires this consistency because composite-level summarizations rely on common fields across all subreports. If Location is missing from even one subreport's detail data, Workday cannot reliably aggregate or align summarizations by that field.
From the Workday HCM Reporting documentation:
"To summarize composite report data by a specific field, that field must be included as detail data in all subreports."
"Drillable fields enable navigation but do not support composite-level summarization." Including Location as drillable only affects drill-down behavior, not summarization. Including it in only one subreport results in incomplete aggregation.
NEW QUESTION # 36
You are building a report to identify employees who have exceeded the allowed number of 10 sick days in the current year.
Using the Sick Days Taken field, what is the correct formula to create a Boolean calculated field that returns True if an employee has exceeded the allowed number of sick days?
- A. Sick Days Taken = 10
- B. Sick Days Taken >= 10
- C. Sick Days Taken > 10
- D. Sick Days Taken = False
Answer: C
Explanation:
To check whether a worker's sick days exceed the threshold of 10, you must define a Boolean condition. The expression Sick Days Taken > 10 evaluates to True when the value is greater than 10, and False otherwise.
From Workday Reporting documentation:
"True/False conditions can be created using numeric comparisons such as greater than (>), less than (<), or equal to (=). These return True or False depending on the worker's data." Thus, the correct formula is A. Sick Days Taken > 10.
NEW QUESTION # 37
A report writer needs to create a report and wants to ensure they are using a data source that provides optimized performance on large volumes of data they will generate.
What type of data source should the report writer use for the required data set?
- A. Trended
- B. Indexed
- C. Targeted
- D. Standard
Answer: B
Explanation:
Workday provides multiple types of data sources when creating reports. Among them, Indexed Data Sources are specifically designed for performance optimization on large data volumes. They allow faster retrieval and better scalability when working with high record counts, because they are pre-optimized for reporting and queries.
From the Workday Reporting guide:
"Indexed data sources provide optimized performance for large data volumes. These data sources are indexed on commonly used fields and are specifically designed to support high-performance queries." Thus, the correct choice is A. Indexed for ensuring performance with large datasets.
NEW QUESTION # 38
A compensation analyst wants to provide C-level executives with a readable and easily accessible display of annual average base pay for workers by region.
What would be an effective option for this case?
- A. A dashboard, because we need information from a collection of reports, organized by region.
- B. A dashboard, because we only need information from a single report.
- C. A worklet, we only need information from a single report.
- D. A worklet, because we need information from a collection of reports, organized by region.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Workday dashboards allow organizations to present multiple reports together in a consolidated, highly visual, and interactive format. For C-level executives, who require a comprehensive and regional view of annual average base pay, dashboards are preferred over individual reports or worklets because they enable grouping and comparison across multiple data sets.
From the Workday binder: "Dashboards provide an interface to view charts and sheets all in one place. This enables managers and executives to analyze key metrics and trends so they can make better decisions." . By organizing reports by region within a dashboard, executives can quickly compare averages, identify trends, and take strategic action without needing to navigate multiple reports.
Worklets are lightweight tiles often used for single reports or quick tasks on the Home page. However, this scenario requires an organized collection of reports, making D. A dashboard, because we need information from a collection of reports, organized by region the correct answer.
NEW QUESTION # 39
You are building a composite report that uses two subreports with different data sources. You are noticing duplicate prompts when you run your composite report.
How can you resolve this problem?
- A. Configure the same default value for each duplicate prompt.
- B. Configure a prompt set on the composite report in the Report Settings.
- C. Select the Do Not Prompt at Runtime checkbox for the overlapping prompts in each subreport.
- D. Select the Do Not Prompt at Runtime for one of the duplicate prompts in the Report Settings.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Duplicate prompts occur in composite reports when multiple subreports request similar or identical inputs, such as Company, Date, or Organization. The recommended and most scalable solution is to use a Prompt Set configured at the composite report level.
Prompt sets allow you to consolidate duplicate prompts into a single prompt, which is then mapped to the corresponding prompts in each subreport. This ensures a clean user experience and consistent filtering across all subreports.
From the Workday HCM Reporting documentation:
"Composite reports support prompt sets to consolidate duplicate prompts across subreports."
"Configure prompt sets in the composite report's Report Settings to eliminate redundant user prompts." The other options are not best practice: default values do not remove duplicate prompts, suppressing prompts reduces flexibility, and managing prompts individually in subreports defeats the purpose of composite-level control.
NEW QUESTION # 40
You are creating a custom report that displays employee salary amounts. You need to ensure that compensation analysts have the appropriate security permissions to view this information for all employees.
How do you confirm the security group's access to salary amounts?
- A. Assign individuals to the compensation analyst security group.
- B. Run the Activate Security Policy Pending Changes task.
- C. Review the domain security policy on the salary amount report field.
- D. Review the domain security policy on the report's data source.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In Workday, access to sensitive data such as salary amounts is controlled at the report field level through security domains. Even if a user has access to the report itself or the data source, they will not be able to see secured fields unless their security group has permission to the domain that specifically secures that field.
The Workday HCM Reporting documentation explains that report fields are securable items and are governed by domain security policies. To confirm whether compensation analysts can view salary amounts for all employees, you must review the domain security policy associated with the Salary Amount report field and verify that the appropriate security group has View (or higher) access.
From the Workday documentation:
"Security access to report fields is controlled by domain security policies. Users must have access to the domain that secures a report field in order to view its data."
"Even when users have access to a report or data source, secured fields will not display unless domain permissions are granted." Running Activate Security Policy Pending Changes applies changes but does not confirm access. Assigning users to a security group does not ensure that the group has the correct domain permissions. Reviewing only the data source security is insufficient because salary visibility is controlled at the field/domain level.
NEW QUESTION # 41
You are viewing a worker's Workday profile and would like to know more about the data behind the worker's job profile of Senior Benefits Analyst so that you can plan a report.
What is the quickest way to identify the business object associated with this field and other relevant field values relating to this instance?
- A. Run the Business Object Details report for the Job Profile business object.
- B. Run the Report Fields report.
- C. Select the job profile's Related Actions icon and select Reporting > Report Fields and Values.
- D. Create a custom report using the Create Custom Report task.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Report Fields and Values option is available via the Related Actions icon for fields on worker profiles. This is the quickest way to see which business object is tied to the field (e.g., Job Profile) and which field values are available for reporting.
From the Workday documentation:
"To determine which business object a field belongs to and the values available for that field, select the Related Actions > Reporting > Report Fields and Values option." Thus, the quickest method is B. Select the job profile's Related Actions icon and select Reporting > Report Fields and Values.
NEW QUESTION # 42
You are configuring a data column on a composite report. You would like to map a subreport prompt to a value in a prompt set, but the prompt is not appearing on the Map Sub Report Prompts grid in the column configuration options.
What could be causing this?
- A. You already set a default value for the prompt on the subreport.
- B. You do not have access to the domain securing the report prompt.
- C. The Do Not Prompt at Runtime checkbox is selected for the prompt on the subreport.
- D. You did not select Use Value From Prompt Set as the default prompt value in the subreport.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In Workday, when you configure composite reports, you can map subreport prompts to prompt sets for greater flexibility. However, if the Do Not Prompt at Runtime checkbox is selected on the subreport prompt, the prompt will not be exposed in the Map Sub Report Prompts grid. This is because Workday interprets the prompt as suppressed and therefore not available for mapping at runtime.
From the Workday binder: "Prompts suppressed with the Do Not Prompt at Runtime option will not appear in the Map Sub Report Prompts grid in composite report configuration. To map a subreport prompt, ensure the prompt is enabled at runtime." Other options do not directly cause this issue: default values on prompts do not suppress them, security issues would block data but not hide the prompt mapping, and prompt set configuration errors affect defaulting but not visibility.
Thus, the correct answer is B. The Do Not Prompt at Runtime checkbox is selected for the prompt on the subreport.
NEW QUESTION # 43
You only want to show snapshot data on a custom trending report that uses the Trended Workers data source.
How can you achieve this with minimal impact to report performance?
- A. Add a report filter using the Snapshot field.
- B. Use the Trended Workers for Planning data source filter.
- C. Run the Maintain Trended Workers task and configure the default record type.
- D. Configure the default value of the Record Type prompt.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Record Type field in Trended Workers distinguishes between snapshots and transactions (such as hires, terminations, or transfers). To focus only on snapshot data, you can apply a report filter on the Snapshot field, ensuring only monthly or quarterly snapshots are displayed. This approach improves report performance because filtering happens at the report level without modifying global trending settings.
From the Workday reporting documentation: "Trended Worker data includes snapshots and transactions. To restrict a report to snapshots, apply a filter on the Record Type or Snapshot field." Other answers involve system-wide changes or unnecessary complexity: running Maintain Trended Workers redefines system defaults, configuring prompts adds user interaction overhead, and Trended Workers for Planning is a different data source intended for forecasting.
Thus, the most efficient option is B. Add a report filter using the Snapshot field.
NEW QUESTION # 44
A composite report sorts output based on the last column in ascending order. You want the sort to be based on the second to last column in descending order.
Where do you make this change?
- A. Report settings
- B. Dynamic data row
- C. Second to last column
- D. Combine data row
Answer: C
Explanation:
In Workday composite reports, sorting behavior is controlled at the column level, not globally. Each column in a composite report can be configured with its own sort order (ascending or descending). When a composite report is sorting by the last column, it means that column has an active sort configuration applied.
To change the sort to the second to last column and set it to descending, you must edit that specific column's configuration and adjust the sort settings accordingly. Workday evaluates column sorting in sequence, and the active column-level sort determines the output order.
From the Workday HCM Reporting documentation:
"Composite reports support column-based sorting. Sorting is defined within the column configuration and determines the order in which results display."
"To change sort behavior, update the sort settings on the appropriate column." The other options are incorrect because dynamic data rows control layout flexibility, combine data rows merge subreport results, and report settings manage prompts and general options-not sorting logic.
