Workday-Pro-HCM-Reporting Workday Pro HCM Reporting Certification Exam Questions and Answers

Matrix reports in Workday allow for grouping, summarization, and drill-through capabilities. To let managersdynamically refine report results at runtime, you configureFacet Filters. Facet Filters enable users to filter the report output interactively, without modifying the underlying definition.

From the Workday Reporting documentation:

“Matrix reports allow grouping and summarization of data. You can also configurefacet filtersso users can dynamically refine report results by selecting values such as Hiring Source or Location.”

Thus, the correct way to let the recruiting manager refine the output isD. Configure Facet Filters.

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.

Enabling a report as a worklet and assigning it to a dashboard does not automatically make it visible. The Recruiting dashboard (or any dashboard in Workday) must beconfigured to include the workletexplicitly. This is a common oversight—report designers assume that enabling a report as a worklet is sufficient, but the dashboard itself must be updated in configuration to display that worklet tile.

From the Workday reporting materials:“Dashboards provide an interface to view multiple worklets. Even if a report is enabled as a worklet, the dashboard configuration determines which worklets are visible to end users.”

Other options are less relevant: exceeding 100 rows only impacts loading performance, not visibility; security issues would typically block data, not hide the worklet entirely; and required setup applies to whether the worklet is optional or required, but it must still be added to the dashboard.

Thus, the correct reason isB. You need to configure the Recruiting dashboard to include the worklet.

TheReport Fields and Valuesoption is available via theRelated Actions iconfor fields on worker profiles. This is the quickest way to see whichbusiness objectis 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 isB. Select the job profile’s Related Actions icon and select Reporting > Report Fields and Values.

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.

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 aPrompt Setat 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 isA. Configure a prompt set on the composite report in the Report Settings.

TheArithmetic Calculationfunction is designed for mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In this scenario, the bonus equals10% 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.

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 usevalue specified in this filterfor fixed filtering.”

Therefore, the correct answer isC. Value specified in this filter.

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
