Workday-Pro-Talent-and-Performance Exam Questions

For Additional Managers to evaluate, the template must include a Competencies section.

If a review lacks competencies, additional managers cannot complete evaluations, and the system throws an error.

Incorrect options:

A . Feedback section does not block additional managers.

B . Manager security group any nominated reviewer with correct access can be added; not restricted only to security group membership.

D . Up to two additional managers there is no hard limit of two; multiple can be assigned.

Workday template setup documentation: Additional Manager Evaluation requires competencies.

Workday Pro certification prep: ''Additional managers must evaluate competencies; otherwise, an error displays.''

Suggested skills functionality is enabled and configured using the Maintain Skills and Experience Setup task.

This controls whether Workday will suggest skills to workers based on their profiles and activity.

Incorrect options:

Edit Tenant Setup -- System and Edit Tenant Setup -- HCM global settings, not skill suggestions.

Configure Optional Fields defines visibility of fields but not skill suggestion functionality.

Workday Talent & Performance documentation: ''Suggested skills are configured in Maintain Skills and Experience Setup.''

Pro Talent certification material confirms this task.

When creating a Competency in Workday Talent & Performance, the system enforces certain required fields.

Name:

This is the mandatory field. Every competency must have a name so it can be identified in job profiles, performance reviews, and talent pools.

Without a name, Workday will not allow you to save or proceed.

Proficiency Rating Scale:

This is important for measuring competencies (e.g., Basic Intermediate Advanced Expert).

However, it is not required at the point of creation. If you don't assign one, the system can still save the competency, though you may not be able to rate employees effectively without linking a scale later.

Competency Description:

Highly recommended for clarity and reporting.

But this field is optional, not enforced by Workday.

Category:

Used to group competencies (e.g., Leadership, Technical, Communication).

Again, optional and for organizational purposes only.

Thus, while other fields add functionality and structure, the only required field to create a competency is the Name.

Reference

Talent & Performance Learning Material: Competencies are created with ''Name'' as required, while ''Description, Proficiency Scale, and Category'' are optional metadata used to support evaluation and reporting.

Workday Pro Talent & Performance study outlines: Under the Competencies section, it explicitly states: ''The only mandatory field is Name. Description, Proficiency Rating Scale, and Category are optional fields that can be configured for richer competency management.''web source Talent & Performance training + community notes

ERP Cloud Training -- Workday Talent & Performance course: Highlights that ''Name is required when creating a competency; all other fields are optional depending on business needs.''

Feedback templates in Workday can be delivered as locked or editable.

A locked feedback template ensures consistency across the organization, meaning the manager cannot add, edit, or delete questions.

Only the default questions included in the template may be used.

Options A, C, and D would apply if the template were editable, but they are not possible in a locked template.

Workday Feedback configuration documentation.

Workday Pro Talent & Performance certification study material: ''Locked templates prevent managers from adding or editing questions. Only the delivered questions are used.''

To allow other users (besides the direct manager) to rate competencies:

Use Get Additional Reviewers for Performance Review allows nominating additional evaluators.

Then use Complete Additional Evaluation for Performance Review routes the evaluation step to the selected additional reviewers.

Incorrect options mix up ''Additional Manager'' with ''Additional Reviewer.'' Managers are a subset, but to include broader participants, the correct subprocesses are Reviewers + Evaluation.

Workday Performance Review BP design documentation.

Workday Pro Talent & Performance exam material: ''For additional reviewers (not limited to managers), configure Get Additional Reviewers + Complete Additional Evaluation subprocesses.''
