Free Workday Workday-Pro-HCM-Reporting Practice Exam with Questions & Answers

Workday delivers manystandard (delivered) reportsthat are available to all customers. These reports are a great starting point but are not editable directly. If the delivered report does not meet your requirements, you shouldcopy it and then modify the copyto create acustom report. This ensures that you retain the delivered report as-is, while still tailoring the report output to your business needs.

From the Workday Module 1 and 2 Reporting sections:

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

“There still may not be a report that meets my specific needs though. In that case, I can either create a report from scratch orcopy a delivered report and make changes.”

“Standard reports are already available in all customer tenants and span across the functional areas in Workday. Workday creates standard reports using either the report writer tool or XpressO. However, you cancopy and modify reports created with report writer as needed.”

Therefore, the correct recommendation isto copy and modify the delivered Headcount By Job Profile report (Option D)instead of editing the original.

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.

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.

Matrix reports in Workday allow grouping of data, applying summarizations, and drilling into the summaries for deeper analysis . To calculatepercentages 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, andPercent of Overall Totalon numeric fields.”(Matrix Report Options – Workday Module 1 Binder)

Therefore, to show thepercentage 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.

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.

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.

Composite reports combine multiple subreports, and their summarizations depend on the fields configured in the subreports themselves. To enable consistent grouping and summarization across the entire composite report, theLocation field must be included as a Detail Data field in all the subreports. This ensures that each subreport provides the Location context required for composite-level summarization.

From the Workday binder:“Composite reports aggregate results from multiple subreports. To summarize or drill consistently on a specific field, that field must exist as a Detail Data field in all subreports included in the composite.”

If Location is only included in one subreport, summarizations in the other subreports would not align, and Location-based grouping would fail. Similarly, making Location drillable only affects drill-down options, not summary-level grouping across the composite.

Thus, the correct answer isA. Include Location as a Detail Data field in all the subreports.

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.

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.

The correct choice isLookup Related Value, because this function allows you to retrieve a field from a related business object that is not directly stored on your primary object. In this scenario, theprimary business object is Performance Review, which holds performance-related data but not job-related data such as Job Title. Since Job Title resides on theWorker business object, you need to link from Performance Review to Worker and then retrieve Job Title.

The Workday reporting guide explains:“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.”. This ensures the Performance Review data can be combined with Job Title for meaningful insights.

By contrast, Aggregate Related Instances is used to roll up multiple related values, Range Band applies thresholds, and Evaluate Expression Band is used for conditional ranges, not cross-object retrieval.
