Workday Workday-Pro-HCM-Reporting Dumps

In composite reports,summarizations are driven by Detail Data fieldsprovided by each subreport. If you want to summarize results consistently byLocation across the entire composite report, Location must exist as aDetail 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.

In Workday matrix reports, the number of rows returned is controlled by theMaximum Number of Rowssetting. By default, reports may limit output rows (for example, showing only the top 3). To display more results—such as the top 10 hiring sources—you must increase this value in the report definition.

From the Workday Reporting documentation:

“You can limit or expand the number of rows displayed in a matrix report by editing theMaximum Number of Rowsfield.”

“To display more than the default, update the value in the report definition.”

Therefore, the correct way to adjust this report to display the top 10 hiring sources isB. Edit the Maximum Number of Rows field.

Workday uses theScheduled Future Processesreport to display all processes that are scheduled to run in the future, includingscheduled custom reports, standard reports, and other background jobs. This report provides visibility intorecurrence patterns,next run dates,owners, andprocess types, making it the primary place to confirm scheduled report execution.

From the Workday HCM Reporting documentation:

“The Scheduled Future Processes report allows users to view all scheduled processes, including reports, along with their run frequency and next execution date.”

“Use Scheduled Future Processes to validate that a report is still scheduled and confirm future run instances.”

The other options are incorrect because:

“Scheduled Future Reports” is not a delivered Workday task.

“Scheduled Distributions Report” is not used to view report schedules.

“View All Occurrences for a Schedule” is accessed only after selecting a specific schedule and does not provide a consolidated list.

Therefore, the correct answer isD. Scheduled Future Processes.

Report groupsallow multiple reports to be bundled together and scheduled as a package to distribute at a set frequency. In this case, the HR analyst can group all diversity-related reports and schedule them to run automatically each month for the HR director.

The Workday documentation explains:“Workday provides additional reporting features such as sharing, scheduling, and exporting reports. Reports can be grouped into report groups for easier scheduling and delivery.”.

While Report Bursting is used for distributing a single report with different data slices (e.g., sending each manager their team’s results), it is not suited for bundling multiple different reports. Embedded analytics are dashboards, not scheduling tools. Alerts notify users of conditions but do not manage recurring report packages.

Therefore,Report Groupsis the correct method for scheduling multiple reports together.

Workday offers several custom report types:Advanced, Matrix, Composite, Search, and Trending.

Advanced Reports: Allow sorting, filtering, grouping, totals, and charts but are not designed for percentage summarizations across grouped data.

Search Reports: Show search results based on facet filters, not suited for summarization and percentages.

nBox Reports: Used for displaying workers or positions across two dimensions (e.g., performance vs. potential).

Matrix Reports: Specifically designed for grouping data, applying summarizations (count, sum, percent), and drilling

When creating custom reports and visualizations, calculated fields can transform values. To change positive counts into negative values (such as terminations in a waterfall chart), you use theArithmetic Calculationfunction. This function allows you to perform math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) on numeric fields. By multiplying the Termination Count by -1, the result displays as a negative number.

From Workday Reporting documentation:

“Arithmetic Calculation – Performs mathematical operations on numeric fields. You can create new numeric outputs such as percentages, ratios, or negatives by applying arithmetic logic.”

Thus, the correct answer isC. Arithmetic Calculation.

In Workday composite reports, sorting behavior is controlledat 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 thesecond to last columnand set it todescending, 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.

In Workday, access to sensitive data such assalary amountsis controlled at thereport field levelthroughsecurity 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 thedomain 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 thedomain security policy associated with the Salary Amount report fieldand verify that the appropriate security group hasView(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.

Matrix reports in Workday allow grouping and summarization of data, but to drill down through hierarchical structures such assupervisory organizations, you must configure hierarchy-aware calculated fields. TheLookup Hierarchy Rollupfunction enables drillable hierarchies, showing performance metrics at each level of the organizational tree.

The Workday binder notes:“Matrix reports allow you to group data, summarize the metrics for each grouping, and drill into the summarizations for further analysis.”. This means you can expand results from the top supervisory org down to teams and individual workers.

Using a simple Lookup Related Value would only pull in one field from a related object, not enable hierarchical drill-down. Similarly, changing sort order or adding overrides does not create drillable hierarchies. Only Lookup Hierarchy Rollup enables this behavior.

Workday provides theScheduled Future Processes reportto review which reports are scheduled to run automatically. This report displays the recurrence details and execution times of all scheduled reports, allowing managers to confirm upcoming automated report runs.

From the Workday Reporting documentation:

“Workday provides scheduling options to run reports at set frequencies. You can confirm upcoming scheduled report runs in theScheduled Future Processes report.”

Therefore, the correct answer isD. The Scheduled Future Processes report.

In Workday trending reports, theRecord Datefor a transaction is not always the same as the event’s Effective Date. Instead, trending data is captured based on theperiodicity of the trended workers configuration, most commonly set to theend of each month. For Hire events, the Effective Date is when the change takes effect in the system, but the trended data is stored using the month-end Record Date.

From the Workday binder:“Trended Workers captures snapshots of worker data at periodic intervals (e.g., monthly, quarterly). A transaction such as a hire or termination is recorded in trending as of the last day of the period in which the effective date occurs.”

In this scenario, the Hire Effective Date of 09/02/2023 falls in September. The Record Date is therefore the last day of September,09/30/2023, not the effective date itself.

Thus, the correct answer isC. 9/30/2023.

The correct choice isLookup 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, theprimary business object is Performance Review, which holds performance-related data but not job-related data such as Job Title. Since Job Title resides on theWorker 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.

TheTrended Workersdata source is specifically designed for reports that displaytrends over time, such as headcount, turnover, and demographics. It captures periodicsnapshots of worker data(monthly, quarterly, etc.), which allows organizations to track workforce metrics historically.

From the Workday binder:“Trended Workers captures snapshots of worker data at periodic intervals, providing historical reporting across time dimensions. This enables reporting on headcount, attrition, and demographics in a time series format.”

By contrast,Workers for HCM Reportingis used for current-state data, not trending.Worker Historyprovides effective-dated transaction-level history but does not automatically generate trending snapshots.Headcountis a standard delivered report and not a reusable data source for custom trending analysis.

Therefore, the most appropriate data source for worker headcount trends over time isA. Trended Workers.

When designing trending reports, theGroup by Time Period fielddetermines how the trended records are aggregated and displayed. By default, reports may show quarterly or annual rollups, but this can be easily adjusted tomonthlywithout needing to reconfigure or regenerate trending data.

From the Workday documentation:“In trending reports, the Group by Time Period setting allows users to choose the granularity of the results, such as monthly, quarterly, or annually. This setting controls the display of data in charts and tables.”

Other options are less appropriate: editing the Column Grouping grid changes report layout but not trending intervals, using a prompt does not change aggregation, and running the Maintain Trended Workers task changes system-wide trending setup, not individual report display.

Thus, the correct approach isB. Edit the Group by Time Period field in the report definition.

For amatrix reportto be eligible as asubreport in a composite report, Workday requires strict alignment between the composite report’s enabled fields and the matrix report’sgroup-by fields. Specifically,every field enabled for filtering and grouping in the composite report must also exist as a group-by field in the matrix report.

If this alignment does not exist, Workday excludes the matrix report from theSub Report Nameselection list because the system cannot reliably aggregate or align the summarized data across reports.

Workday HCM Reporting documentation states:

“When using matrix reports as subreports in composite reports, the group-by fields must align with the composite report’s enabled grouping and filtering fields.”

“Matrix reports that do not meet grouping alignment requirements will not be available for selection as subreports.”

The other options do not control subreport eligibility:

Summarization fields affect calculations, not availability.

Filter alignment is validated later, not at selection time.

Prompt defaults do not determine whether a report appears in the Sub Report Name field.

Workday’sReport Performance Loghighlights processing time contributors such as “Top Level Filter Time.” If this is high, the best practice is toreplace report filters with built-in data source prompts, since prompts restrict data earlier in processing, improving performance.

From the Workday Reporting documentation:

“To improve report performance, leverage built-in data source prompts instead of filters whenever possible. Prompts reduce the data set retrieved before filters are applied, minimizing filter processing time.”

Therefore, the correct answer isB. Use built-in data source prompts instead of filters.

In Discovery Boards, drill behavior is defined in theDrill By field list. To add Worker as a drillable option in just one visualization, the analyst canoverride the Drill By list in the Configuration Panelof that visualization. This allows Worker to appear as a drill dimension without altering the defaults applied across other visualizations.

From the Workday documentation:“You can override Drill By field lists in the visualization configuration panel. This enables drill customization on a per-visualization basis without impacting other discovery boards.”

The other options are less appropriate: Maintain Field Lists changes the default for all boards; adding Worker as a dimension affects grouping, not drilling; and sheet filter controls allow filtering but do not add drill options.

Thus, the correct choice isD. Override the Drill By field list and add Worker in the Configuration Panel for this visualization.
