For amatrix reportto be eligible as asubreport in a composite report, Workday requires strict alignment between the composite report’s enabled fields and the matrix report’sgroup-by fields. Specifically,every field enabled for filtering and grouping in the composite report must also exist as a group-by field in the matrix report.

If this alignment does not exist, Workday excludes the matrix report from theSub Report Nameselection list because the system cannot reliably aggregate or align the summarized data across reports.

Workday HCM Reporting documentation states:

“When using matrix reports as subreports in composite reports, the group-by fields must align with the composite report’s enabled grouping and filtering fields.”

“Matrix reports that do not meet grouping alignment requirements will not be available for selection as subreports.”

The other options do not control subreport eligibility:

Summarization fields affect calculations, not availability.

Filter alignment is validated later, not at selection time.

Prompt defaults do not determine whether a report appears in the Sub Report Name field.

TheRecord Type fieldin Trended Workers distinguishes between snapshots and transactions (such as hires, terminations, or transfers). To focus only on snapshot data, you can apply areport filter on the Snapshot field, ensuring only monthly or quarterly snapshots are displayed. This approach improves report performance because filtering happens at the report level without modifying global trending settings.

From the Workday reporting documentation:“Trended Worker data includes snapshots and transactions. To restrict a report to snapshots, apply a filter on the Record Type or Snapshot field.”

Other answers involve system-wide changes or unnecessary complexity: running Maintain Trended Workers redefines system defaults, configuring prompts adds user interaction overhead, and Trended Workers for Planning is a different data source intended for forecasting.

Thus, the most efficient option isB. Add a report filter using the Snapshot field.

If a recruiter sees an empty dashboard tile, the most likely cause isconstrained security access. Even though the dashboard is properly configured and the worklet is enabled, Workday’s security framework ensures that report results vary by user depending on their role and assigned constraints.

From the Workday Reporting binder:“Report results differ between users if security constraints apply. Constrained security groups grant access only to a subset of data… Unconstrained security groups grant users access to all target instances of a securable item.”.

In this scenario, the recruiter likely has constrained access to only their supervisory organization or region. As a result, the “Top New Applications by Job Profile” report returns no records in the worklet tile.

Other options are less likely: if the recruiter lacked access to the report entirely, the tile would not appear; required vs. optional dashboard configuration would not impact existing data visibility; and domain-level security applies to report access, not data filtering.

Therefore, the correct answer isC. The recruiter has constrained access to the report's data source or data source filter.

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.

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.

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.

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
