In Workday reporting, row ordering is controlled on theSort tabof the report definition. If you want the rows in a matrix report to sort by a specific field (such asTotal Count), you must add that field to theSort tab. Filters limit records, and summarizations define metrics, but sorting rules are explicitly defined in the Sort configuration.

From the Workday Reporting documentation:

“Sort – Control the order to present and group data. You can specify options for subtotals, grand totals, and outlines. Add a row on the Sort tab to define sorting by a particular field.”

Therefore, to sort rows byTotal Countinstead ofTotal Average Base Pay, the correct step isC. Add a new row to the grid on the Sort tab.

Duplicate prompts occur in composite reports when multiple subreports request similar or identical inputs, such as Company, Date, or Organization. The recommended and most scalable solution is to use aPrompt Setconfigured at thecomposite report level.

Prompt sets allow you toconsolidate duplicate prompts into a single prompt, which is then mapped to the corresponding prompts in each subreport. This ensures a clean user experience and consistent filtering across all subreports.

From the Workday HCM Reporting documentation:

“Composite reports support prompt sets to consolidate duplicate prompts across subreports.”

“Configure prompt sets in the composite report’s Report Settings to eliminate redundant user prompts.”

The other options are not best practice: default values do not remove duplicate prompts, suppressing prompts reduces flexibility, and managing prompts individually in subreports defeats the purpose of composite-level control.

TheTrended Workersdata source contains bothsnapshot records(period-end views of worker data) andevent/transaction records(such as hires, terminations, and job changes). When the reporting requirement is to displayonly snapshot data, the most efficient and least disruptive approach is to apply areport-level filterusing the Snapshot (or Record Type = Snapshot) field.

Workday HCM Reporting documentation explains that filtering at the report level allows the system to limit returned records without changing global trending configurations or requiring additional processing. This approach hasminimal performance impactbecause it operates on already-generated trended data rather than forcing the system to recalculate or regenerate records.

Relevant documentation guidance includes:

“Trended Workers includes both snapshot and transaction records. Use report filters to restrict output to snapshot data when required.”

“Avoid changing system-wide trending configurations when report-level filtering satisfies the business requirement.”

The other options are less appropriate:

Setting default prompt values still allows non-snapshot data to be retrieved.

Trended Workers for Planning is a different data source with a different purpose.

Running Maintain Trended Workers changes system configuration and impacts all trending reports.

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.

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.

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.

When a report is scheduled to run at a recurring interval (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.), Workday tracks this under theScheduled Future Processesreport. This task allows administrators and report owners to view when reports are set to run, the frequency of execution, and the schedule start and end dates. If a report stopped running after the new year began, the most likely cause is that the scheduling end date expired on December 31, meaning no new jobs were generated for the new year.

From the Workday Reporting binder:“Workday provides scheduling options to run reports at set frequencies. You can confirm upcoming scheduled report runs in the Scheduled Future Processes report.”This provides visibility into whether the report is still scheduled and when it is next expected to execute.

The other answers are incorrect: View Alerts relates to system notifications, Mass Operation Management is not for reporting, and Run History shows past runs but not future scheduling. The correct option isC. Scheduled Future Processes.
