Question 1

You are creating a custom report to calculate the monthly bonus for each worker in the sales department. The bonus is calculated as 10% of the total sales for the month. What calculated field function would return the monthly bonus for each worker?

Correct Answer: C. Arithmetic Calculation
Explanation:

The Arithmetic Calculation function is designed for mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In this scenario, the bonus equals 10% of monthly sales, so you need to multiply the sales field by 0.10.

The Workday documentation highlights: ''Arithmetic Calculation -- Creates a numeric field using mathematical operations performed on existing fields.'' . This makes it the ideal choice for payroll- and incentive-related calculations.

Other options are less relevant: Evaluate Expression is for logical or Boolean conditions, Lookup Related Value is for retrieving fields from related objects (not calculations), and Sum Related Instances aggregates multiple rows of data but does not directly calculate percentages.

Thus, the arithmetic calculation provides a straightforward and efficient way to compute bonuses dynamically in the report.


Question 2

A customer was receiving a report on a weekly basis but has not received it since the new year started.

What task should you use to confirm the report frequency?

Correct Answer: C. Scheduled Future Processes
Explanation:

When a report is scheduled to run at a recurring interval (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.), Workday tracks this under the Scheduled Future Processes report. This task allows administrators and report owners to view when reports are set to run, the frequency of execution, and the schedule start and end dates. If a report stopped running after the new year began, the most likely cause is that the scheduling end date expired on December 31, meaning no new jobs were generated for the new year.

From the Workday Reporting binder: ''Workday provides scheduling options to run reports at set frequencies. You can confirm upcoming scheduled report runs in the Scheduled Future Processes report.'' This provides visibility into whether the report is still scheduled and when it is next expected to execute.

The other answers are incorrect: View Alerts relates to system notifications, Mass Operation Management is not for reporting, and Run History shows past runs but not future scheduling. The correct option is C. Scheduled Future Processes.


Question 3

An HR analyst needs to schedule a collection of diversity reports to the HR director on a monthly basis. What mechanism should the HR analyst use to do this?

Correct Answer: B. Report groups
Explanation:

Report groups allow 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 Groups is the correct method for scheduling multiple reports together.


Question 4

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?

Correct Answer: A. Configure a prompt set on the composite report in the Report Settings.
Explanation:

When using multiple subreports in a composite report, duplicate prompts often occur if both subreports request similar information (e.g., Company, Date, or Supervisory Organization). The best practice in Workday is to configure a Prompt Set at the composite level. Prompt sets allow you to consolidate duplicate prompts into one, mapping the same input across multiple subreports.

From the Workday documentation: ''Composite reports allow prompt consolidation through Prompt Sets. Configure prompt sets in the composite report's Report Settings to eliminate duplicate prompts and provide a streamlined user experience.''

Other answers are less efficient: assigning the same default value does not eliminate duplication, suppressing prompts with ''Do Not Prompt at Runtime'' removes flexibility for end users, and handling only one duplicate prompt does not consolidate across subreports.

Therefore, the correct solution is A. Configure a prompt set on the composite report in the Report Settings.


Question 5

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?

Correct Answer: B. Run the Business Object Details report
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.


Question 6

You need a calculated field that returns whether or not the initiator for a Manage Goals event is the worker's manager.

Correct Answer: B. True/False Condition
Explanation:

The True/False Condition calculated field is used to return Boolean results (True or False) based on defined criteria. In this scenario, the field must evaluate whether the event initiator equals the worker's manager. By setting that condition, the calculated field will return True if the initiator is the manager and False otherwise.

From Workday Reporting documentation:

''True/False Condition -- Creates a Boolean field that evaluates a condition and returns True or False depending on whether the condition is met.''

Thus, the correct answer is B. True/False Condition.


Question 7

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?

Correct Answer: D. A dashboard, because we need information from a collection of reports, organized by region.
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.


Question 8

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?

Correct Answer: A. Indexed
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.


Question 9

You want to create a report that groups all employees by area code. However, the field you are pulling from contains the entire phone number.

Correct Answer: A. Substring Text
Explanation:

The Substring Text function in Workday calculated fields extracts a portion of a string based on character position and length. To capture the area code from a phone number (e.g., the first three digits of a 10-digit number), you define the substring starting at position 1 with a length of 3.

From Workday Reporting documentation:

''Substring Text -- Returns a portion of a text string based on a starting position and specified length.''

Example: Phone number 4155551234 Substring(1,3) = 415.

Therefore, the correct choice is A. Substring Text.


Question 10

You would like to create an advanced report that contains information about employees and their dependents.

Where can you go to identify the field that links the two business objects, Worker and Dependent?

Correct Answer: C. The Related Business Objects tab of the Business Object Details report
Explanation:

To connect multiple business objects in reporting, Workday provides the Business Object Details report. The Related Business Objects tab within this report shows how different business objects are linked (e.g., Worker to Dependent). This enables report writers to identify which fields connect the primary and secondary objects.

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.''

Therefore, the correct answer is C. The Related Business Objects tab of the Business Object Details report.
