In composite reports, drill-down functionality is controlled at thecolumn level. By configuring drillable fields on the output columns, users can select values and view related details, such as worker name, location, and manager.

From the Workday documentation:“Drill-down values in composite reports are configured on columns. Columns can be set to include drillable fields, allowing users to select a value and view related data.”

Rows determine how data is grouped, prompts filter initial results, and subreports provide the raw data but do not directly control drillable field configurations.

Therefore, the correct configuration isC. In the composite report columns.

Workday calculated fields allow users to manipulate dates, numbers, and text values. To calculate a new date based on an existing date field (e.g., Bonus Approval Date), you use theIncrement or Decrement Datefunction. This adds or subtracts a defined number of days, months, or years from the source date.

From Workday Reporting documentation:

“Increment or Decrement Date – Returns a date that is a specified number of days, months, or years before or after the value of the source date field.”

Example: If the Bonus Approval Date is 01/01/2025, adding 60 days using this function would return 03/02/2025.

Thus, the correct choice isA. Increment or Decrement Date.

When ownership of a custom report is transferred in Workday, the system immediately evaluates whether the new report owner hasfull security accessto all components of the report. This includes access to thedata source,all report fields,calculated fields, and anysecured domainsreferenced by the report. If the new owner lacks access to even one secured field or domain, the report becomes invalid for that owner.

TheCustom Report Exception Auditreport is specifically designed to identify these types of issues. Acritical errorappears when the report owner does not meet the minimum security requirements to maintain or run the report.

From the Workday HCM Reporting documentation:

“When transferring ownership of a custom report, the new owner must have access to all fields and data sources used in the report. If access is missing, the Custom Report Exception Audit will flag the report with an error.”

“Critical errors indicate security or configuration issues that must be resolved for the report to function correctly.”

The other options are incorrect because location has no impact on report ownership, prompts are supported in reports, and sharing controls visibility—not ownership validity.

To captureproposed values from a business process event, you must use anevent-related business object. For example, a Staffing Event business object can provide both the current and proposed values of job, location, or compensation during a transaction.

The Workday binder clarifies:“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.”. By selecting anevent-related objectas the report’s data source, you can retrieve pending changes alongside existing values.

Other answers are insufficient: “effective dating” only retrieves data snapshots, and filters cannot detect “proposed” unless tied to the correct object. Lookup Value as of Date would return historical data, not future proposed changes.

TheCustom Report Exception Audit reportidentifies errors in custom reports, such as missing security access. If a new report owner does not have access to one or more fields on the report, it will trigger acritical error.

From the Workday Reporting documentation:

“The Custom Report Exception Audit report identifies issues such as missing field access when ownership of a report is transferred.”

Therefore, the correct answer isA. The HR Analyst does not have access to all of the fields on the report.

Workday maintains ashared WDSetup tenantwhere customers can access the latest delivered content, including reports, dashboards, and calculated field templates. Customers must log in through theWorkday Community portalto access this tenant.

From the Workday binder:“The WDSetup tenant provides shared configuration content maintained by Workday. Customers can access the tenant through Workday Community to review the latest delivered reports and dashboards.”

The other options are incorrect: Object Transporter (OX) migrates content between customer tenants, not WDSetup. Customer Central is a separate tenant for learning, not for content review. The “What’s New” report shows system updates, not the latest WDSetup content.

Therefore, the correct answer isC. Sign in to the Shared WDSetup tenant through the Workday Community.

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.

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.

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.

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.
