Exam Workday-Pro-HCM-Reporting Topic 1 Question 29 Discussion

Actual exam question for Workday's Workday-Pro-HCM-Reporting exam
Question #: 29
Topic #: 1
You configured a trending report for an HR analyst that shows headcount by country trends by quarter. The HR analyst has asked for the data to display for each month, rather than each quarter.
How can you fulfill these requirements?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

When designing trending reports, the Group by Time Period field determines how the trended records are aggregated and displayed. By default, reports may show quarterly or annual rollups, but this can be easily adjusted to monthly without needing to reconfigure or regenerate trending data.
From the Workday documentation: "In trending reports, the Group by Time Period setting allows users to choose the granularity of the results, such as monthly, quarterly, or annually. This setting controls the display of data in charts and tables." Other options are less appropriate: editing the Column Grouping grid changes report layout but not trending intervals, using a prompt does not change aggregation, and running the Maintain Trended Workers task changes system-wide trending setup, not individual report display.
Thus, the correct approach is B. Edit the Group by Time Period field in the report definition.
