When creating a custom report, which item is not specified?

• A. Effective date
• B. Data source
• C. Report name
• D. Access rights

Answer: (A)

In Workday, when you create a custom report you define the data source (what data you’re pulling from), give the report a name (so you can identify and save it), and set who can access or run the report (security). The date aspect isn’t fixed at the moment you save the report. Instead, the date you want to use for the data—an as-of or effective date—is a runtime setting you specify when you run the report or via a date prompt. This date selection happens after the report structure is created, not as part of the initial creation, which is why the effective date isn’t specified during setup.

So, you specify data source, report name, and access rights when creating a custom report, but the effective date is determined at run time.
