Discuss Workday Workday-Pro-HCM-Reporting Exam Topic 4 Question 15

A worker report uses a filter based on the Location field, using the comparison type Prompt the user for a value. A user runs this report and leaves the prompt value blank.

What Worker instances display on the output?

AOnly Worker instances where there is a value of the Location field

BNo Worker instances, regardless of the value of the Location field

COnly Worker instances where the Location field value is blank

DAll Worker instances, regardless of the value of the Location field

Suggested Answer: D

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

C is interesting. It highlights blanks specifically.

I’m with D. No restrictions if prompt is blank.

A seems logical. Filter needs a value to work.

I lean towards B. No instances should display.

C makes sense. It shows blank values only.

I feel confused. What if the field is blank?

I thought it would only show the ones with a value!

I’m not so sure about that, could be option A too.

Wait, how can it show all if the filter is blank?

Definitely option D! Makes sense.

I think it shows all Worker instances.

I recall something about filters behaving differently with blank values. I wonder if it could actually show instances where the Location is blank, so maybe C?

Ronna 3 months ago

I feel like this is tricky. If the Location field is required, maybe it defaults to showing only those with a value, which could be A.

Cyril 3 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question where a blank prompt returned no results. Could it be option B?

I think if the prompt is left blank, it might show all Worker instances, so I'm leaning towards option D.
