You are viewing a Report Performance Log and notice the Top Level Filter Time is high.

How should you edit the report definition to improve this?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Workday's Report Performance Log highlights processing time contributors such as ''Top Level Filter Time.'' If this is high, the best practice is to replace 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 is B. Use built-in data source prompts instead of filters.

I feel like switching to a different data source could be a good idea, but I need to check if that’s feasible for this report.

I’m a bit confused about whether calculated fields would actually improve performance or just complicate things.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think subfilters can really narrow down the data effectively.

I think using built-in data source prompts might help, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best option.
