Workday Pro HCM Reporting Online Practice Questions

Explanation:
Matrix reports in Workday allow for grouping, summarization, and drill-through capabilities. To let managers dynamically refine report results at runtime, you configure Facet 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 configure facet filters so 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 is D. Configure Facet Filters.

Explanation:
In Workday trending reports, the Record Date for a transaction is not always the same as the event’s Effective Date. Instead, trending data is captured based on the periodicity of the trended workers configuration, most commonly set to the end 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 is
C. 9/30/2023.

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 C 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.

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 C 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.

Explanation:
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 be configured to include the worklet explicitly. 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 is
B. You need to configure the Recruiting dashboard to include the worklet.
