Workday dashboards allow organizations to present multiple reports together in a consolidated, highly visual, and interactive format. For C-level executives, who require acomprehensive 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 anorganized collection of reports, makingD. A dashboard, because we need information from a collection of reports, organized by regionthe correct answer.

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.

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 aPrompt Setconfigured at thecomposite report level.

Prompt sets allow you toconsolidate 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.

To evaluate year-over-year changes in benefit costs and enrollments, you need historical data comparisons over time. TheTrending Reporttype is designed for exactly this use case, leveraging data sources likeTrended Workersto display snapshots at periodic intervals and calculate variances between time periods.

From the Workday binder:“Trending reports allow you to track changes to worker data across time. These reports support analysis of headcount, demographics, benefit enrollments, and cost variances year-over-year or month-over-month.”

Advanced and Matrix reports provide strong analysis capabilities, but they are based on current or related effective-dated data, not time-series snapshots. Composite reports combine multiple subreports but do not inherently manage trending data or variance calculations across years.

Therefore, the only correct option for year-over-year benefit enrollment and cost variance isD. Trending Report.

To locate the correct fields and data sources for a custom report, Workday provides theBusiness 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 isB. Run the Business Object Details report.

TheSubstring Textfunction 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 isA. Substring Text.

TheWorkday Standard Reports reportlists all delivered reports and key attributes. Only standard reports created with theReport Writer toolcan be copied and modified into custom reports. The “Type” column indicates whether the report is a Report Writer report.

From the Workday Reporting documentation:

“Workday delivers standard reports that are available for all customers. If necessary, you can copy many of the Workday-delivered reports created with the report writer to create a custom report and modify it as needed.”

Thus, the correct indicator isC. The report shows Report Writer in the Type column.
