An HR partner runs an employee report that includes Citizenship Status. She can see Citizenship Status for some employees on the report but not all. What could explain this?

• A. The Citizenship Status data is missing for these employees
• B. The Citizenship Status data is missing for the entire organization
• C. The Citizenship Status data is always visible
• D. The Citizenship Status data is loaded from an external system

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that report results depend on data being present in each employee’s record. Citizenship Status will appear on the report only if a value has been entered for that employee. Seeing it for some employees but not others means the data isn’t stored for the ones where it’s missing, rather than a universal visibility rule or an external feed issue. If the data were missing organization-wide, no one would show a value; if it were always visible, everyone would have a value. While external data feeds can supply the value, the straightforward reason here is that the Citizenship Status field hasn’t been populated for those other employees.
