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 custom reports and visualizations, calculated fields can transform values. To change positive counts into negative values (such as terminations in a waterfall chart), you use theArithmetic Calculationfunction. This function allows you to perform math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) on numeric fields. By multiplying the Termination Count by -1, the result displays as a negative number.

From Workday Reporting documentation:

“Arithmetic Calculation – Performs mathematical operations on numeric fields. You can create new numeric outputs such as percentages, ratios, or negatives by applying arithmetic logic.”

Thus, the correct answer isC. Arithmetic Calculation.

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.

To connect multiple business objects in reporting, Workday provides theBusiness Object Details report. TheRelated Business Objects tabwithin this report shows how different business objects are linked (e.g., Worker to Dependent). This enables report writers to identify which fields connect the primary and secondary objects.

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 aslinks to related business objects.”

Therefore, the correct answer isC. The Related Business Objects tab of the Business Object Details report.

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

TheLookup Related Valuefunction retrieves a value from a related business object. Since Compensation Group is not stored directly on the Worker object but instead through theJob Profilebusiness object, this function lets you traverse the relationship to return the related field into your report.

From Workday Reporting documentation:

“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.”

Therefore, the correct answer isC. Lookup Related Value.

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.

In Workday, when you configure composite reports, you can map subreport prompts to prompt sets for greater flexibility. However, if theDo Not Prompt at Runtimecheckbox is selected on the subreport prompt, the prompt will not be exposed in theMap Sub Report Prompts grid. This is because Workday interprets the prompt as suppressed and therefore not available for mapping at runtime.

From the Workday binder:“Prompts suppressed with the Do Not Prompt at Runtime option will not appear in the Map Sub Report Prompts grid in composite report configuration. To map a subreport prompt, ensure the prompt is enabled at runtime.”

Other options do not directly cause this issue: default values on prompts do not suppress them, security issues would block data but not hide the prompt mapping, and prompt set configuration errors affect defaulting but not visibility.

Thus, the correct answer isB. The Do Not Prompt at Runtime checkbox is selected for the prompt on the subreport.

Workday report filters allow prompts so users can enter values when running a report. If theprompt value is left blank, Workday treats it as though no filter condition has been applied, so the system returnsall available Worker instances regardless of the Location field.

From the Workday Reporting guide:

“Prompts – You can further narrow and refine your report results by having the user complete prompt fields before they run the report. You can set default values for prompts… If left blank, the filter condition is ignored and all data is returned.”

Therefore, the correct answer isD. All Worker instances, regardless of the value of the Location field.

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.

TheTrue/False Conditioncalculated 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 returnTrueif the initiator is the manager andFalseotherwise.

From Workday Reporting documentation:

“True/False Condition – Creates a Boolean field that evaluates a condition and returns True or False depending on whether the condition is met.”

Thus, the correct answer isB. True/False Condition.

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.

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.

When designing trending reports, theGroup by Time Period fielddetermines how the trended records are aggregated and displayed. By default, reports may show quarterly or annual rollups, but this can be easily adjusted tomonthlywithout needing to reconfigure or regenerate trending data.

From the Workday documentation:“In trending reports, the Group by Time Period setting allows users to choose the granularity of the results, such as monthly, quarterly, or annually. This setting controls the display of data in charts and tables.”

Other options are less appropriate: editing the Column Grouping grid changes report layout but not trending intervals, using a prompt does not change aggregation, and running the Maintain Trended Workers task changes system-wide trending setup, not individual report display.

Thus, the correct approach isB. Edit the Group by Time Period field in the report definition.

Workday’sReport Performance Loghighlights processing time contributors such as “Top Level Filter Time.” If this is high, the best practice is toreplace report filters with built-in data source prompts, since prompts restrict data earlier in processing, improving performance.

From the Workday Reporting documentation:

“To improve report performance, leverage built-in data source prompts instead of filters whenever possible. Prompts reduce the data set retrieved before filters are applied, minimizing filter processing time.”

Therefore, the correct answer isB. Use built-in data source prompts instead of filters.
