SAP C_THR92_2411 SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics: Reporting Exam Practice Test

List Report Formatting OverviewList report components in SAP SuccessFactors allow detailed data visualization in a tabular format. Formatting enhances usability and readability.

Formatting Options

Change the Order of Columns: Columns in a list report can be rearranged to prioritize specific data.

Adjust Column Widths: Column widths can be resized to fit content or optimize display space.

Change Column Headers: Column headers can be renamed or updated to improve clarity and alignment with report requirements.

Explanation of Correct Answers

Option A: Correct, as reordering columns is a standard customization feature.

Option C: Correct, because column width adjustment is supported for better layout and content display.

Option D: Correct, since column headers can be edited to reflect data labels better.

Explanation of Incorrect Options

Option B: Incorrect, because column types (e.g., text to numeric) cannot be changed directly in a list report component.

Option E: Incorrect, as list report formatting changes cannot be saved as templates for reuse.

Issue with Static Date Filters:

If the query uses a static date filter (e.g., a specific range like "January 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023"), the report will not reflect the most recent data as the filter restricts results to the defined date range.

Resolution:

Update the query to use dynamic date filters (e.g., "Last 30 Days" or "Current Year") to ensure the pivot table includes the latest data.

Filter Groups in Table ReportsWhen using filter groups in table reports, the logical relationship between the groups is "OR." This means the report includes data that matches any one of the filter groups.

Explanation of Correct Answer

Filter groups are designed to broaden the scope of a query by including records that satisfy at least one group of filters.

The logical "OR" ensures inclusivity between groups, rather than restricting to matching all groups (which would be "AND").

When you share a tile in SAP SuccessFactors, the recipient can view the tile in the following ways:

Homepage (C):

Shared tiles can appear on the recipient’s homepage if configured appropriately.

iOS SF App (D):

Tiles are accessible through the SAP SuccessFactors mobile application, enabling on-the-go access to reports and visualizations.

Dashboard (E):

Tiles can be added to dashboards, where users can view multiple tiles and reports in one interface.

Understanding JoinsIn reporting or database queries, a join determines how two tables are combined based on a related column.

Types of Joins

Outer Join: Includes all rows from both tables, filling inNULLwhere no match exists.

Left Join: Includes all rows from the left table (Table A) and only matching rows from the right table (Table B).

Inner Join: Includes only rows that have matches in both tables.

Correct Join for the RequirementALeft Joinis the appropriate choice to include all rows from Table A and only matchingrows from Table B. This ensures Table A's data remains intact while incorporating relevant data from Table B.

To enable a filter to update multiple charts using linked analysis in a Story report:

Same Data Source (C):

All the charts must share the same data source to allow consistent filtering and updates across the visuals.

Linked Dimensions in Data Sources (D):

If the charts use different data sources, those sources must containlinked dimensionsto allow the filter to propagate changes.

Requirements for Reportable Custom Blocks

Acustom blockin People Profile needs to satisfy specific criteria to be included in reports in Story.

Option A: The MDF object must be associated with a schema as aroot objectto ensure the data structure is accessible in the reporting layer.

Option C: TheexternalCodefield must have the correct data type, such asGeneric Object, to ensure proper data mapping.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

B: MDF objects can be linked to other schemas; this does not affect their reportability.

D: The externalCode does not necessarily need to be of datatype User for the custom block to be reportable.

Ownership and Sharing of Canvas Reports

Reports are owned by the user who created them. If User A leaves, the report sharing settings must be updated to give User B edit permissions.

Solution

By updating the report's sharing settings to include User B, you allow them to modify the report while maintaining appropriate security.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A (Access All Reports): Grants excessive permissions and is not recommended.

C (Edit Role Configuration): Role configuration changes apply broadly, not specifically to this report.

D (Edit Authorship): Changing authorship is not a valid option in SuccessFactors.

Dynamic Groups in SAP SuccessFactors:

Dynamic groups combine multiple People Pools using logical OR conditions.

In the given configuration, the report is shared with employees in AtlantaORemployees in the Sales department.

Explanation of the Result:

Employees in both conditions are included because the People Pools are treated as separate categories and are not exclusive to each other.

Understanding Report Restoration

SAP SuccessFactors provides theRestore Deleted Report toolto recover reports that have been unintentionally deleted from the Report Center. This is the fastest method to restore a deleted report.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

B (Create a new report and add orphaned pages): This is time-consuming and only useful if the report cannot be restored.

C (Contact SAP Support): This is unnecessary as the Restore Deleted Report tool is available.

D (Recycle Bin): The Recycle Bin does not exist for reports in SAP SuccessFactors.

Tool for Aggregation

AnAggregated Calculated Columnallows you to perform calculations, such as counting previous employers for each employee, and then display the results in a single row per employee.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A (Runtime Filters): Filters data but does not aggregate or calculate totals.

B (Calculated Columns): Useful for individual row-level calculations, but aggregation across rows requires Aggregated Calculated Columns.

D (Date Options): Used for filtering or formatting date fields, not for aggregating data.

Set "Nest Label In" to Talent Management (B):

To organize nested labels effectively, you need to set the parent label, such as "Talent Management," for the nested hierarchy.

Edit the Recruiting Label in Manage Labels (D):

You can adjust the nested label under "Recruiting" to align it under the correct parent category.

When a user cannot see a table report in the Report Center list, the issue typically stems from insufficient role-based permissions (RBP) granted to the user for accessing reports in that domain. Specifically:

Understand Role-Based Permissions (RBP):

In SAP SuccessFactors, reports and analytics visibility is governed by RBP settings. These settings ensure that users only see the reports and data they are authorized to access.

Permissions are categorized into domains such as "Employee Central," "Performance Management," etc.

Key Permissions for Reports in the Report Center:To view or run reports in Report Center, users need:

Run Report Access: This allows users to execute reports for domains they are permitted to access.

Create Report Access: This enables users to create or modify reports.

Manage Tiles and Dashboards Access: This is necessary for interacting with dashboards and tiles, not table reports specifically.

Access to Insights: This refers to viewing analytic insights and does not directly impact table report visibility.

Diagnosing the Issue:

The given scenario describes a user being unable to view a shared table report.

The most likely cause is the absence ofRun Report access to the domainassociated with the table report.

Without this permission, the system restricts the user from running or even viewing the report, even if it has been shared with them.

Steps to Resolve:

Navigate to Admin Center→Manage Permission Roles.

Select the permission role assigned to the user in question.

ClickPermissions→Reports Permissions.

Verify that theRun Report Permissionis granted for the specific domain associated with the shared report.

If not, enable this permission and save the changes.

Test Access:

After updating the permissions, the user should be able to view the table report in the Report Center.

Report Transfer (A):

The Report Transfer tool is specifically designed to move reports from one instance (test) to another (production).

Report Center (D):

Reports can also be exported and imported manually using the Report Center if the report type supports it.

People Step in Report Definition:

ThePeoplestep in a report determines the population (target group) of employees included in the report.

When you share the report, the recipient’sline of sight(determined by their Role-Based Permissions) will affect their ability to view the data.

Example Scenario:

If the report is configured to include data for a specific department, but the user does not have permission to view data for that department, they may see limited or no data.

When using a Multi-Dataset Table Report without Business Intelligence Reporting Tools (BIRT), the following characteristics apply:

Report results are shown on separate tabs in the output (A):

Each dataset’s output is displayed on its respective tab. This is because the data is not integrated or merged in the query.

Data is NOT joined in the query (D):

Multi-dataset reports without BIRT do not perform data joins. Each dataset is treated independently.

Page Designer Configuration

In SAP SuccessFactors, grid column widths and row heights are part of the designer's layout properties. These settings are configured in thedesigner propertiesof the page.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A (Edit Page Properties): This is used for general page settings, not specific grid layout adjustments.

B (Edit Query): Query settings pertain to data retrieval, not layout.

D (Validate Page): Validation checks for errors but does not allow layout adjustments.

To create and assign a date filter to a tile:

Create a New Date Range (C):

Define a new date range with itsName,Label, and theDate From/Date Toparameters.

Enable the Date Filter in the Tile:

Open the tile configuration and enable the date filter.

Configure End User Free Selection of Date Range:

Allow the end user to freely select a date range when interacting with the tile.

Default People Scope:

When building a query, the defaultPeople Scopeis set to theDirect Reportsof the logged-in user. This ensures the user only sees data relevant to their scope of responsibility.

Error Analysis

Calculated columns in Query Designer require the correct data type to be specified based on the formula. If the selected data type does not match the formula's expected output, an error occurs.

Why the Error Occurs

The formula appears to involve a calculation related to dates. If the data type is not set to a compatible format (e.g., "Number" or "Date"), the calculation fails.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A (Incorrect Dynamic Date Variable): The issue is not with the date variable but with the data type.

B (If-Then-Else Statement): Such a statement is unnecessary in the given formula.

C (Negative Result): Negative results are not inherently problematic unless restricted by the data type.

Understanding the Problem

The data source displays only current (active) employees, so the table must filter records to show headcount at the end of the previous year.

Explanation of Correct Answers

B (Hire Date Range): Applying a range filter on the hire date ensures only employees who were active within the required timeframe are included.

D (Offset Range Type): Using an offset type range adjusts the filter dynamically to capture the relevant period for the previous year.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A (Standard Range Type): Does not allow for dynamic date adjustments.

C (Hire Date Member): Members are static and not suited for dynamic date filtering.

Enabling Live Data Source

ThePlatform Clientsetting in Provisioning is required to enable the Live data source, which allows real-time data retrieval for reports.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

B (EC Client): Pertains to Employee Central but does not enable live data.

C (Workforce Analytics Client): Relates to Workforce Analytics, not live data.

D (LMS Client API): Specific to Learning Management System data integration.

Enabling Custom BIRT Templates

To upload a custom BIRT template to a Table Report, theBIPublisher template uploadsetting must be enabled in Provisioning.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

B (Enable BIPublisher to BIRT Template Converter): Not necessary for template uploads.

C (Additional Adhoc Subdomain Schemas Configuration): Irrelevant for uploading templates.

D (Enable Visual Publisher): This setting is unrelated to BIRT templates.

Saving Chart States in a Story ReportSAP SuccessFactors Story Reports provide the ability to save states or views for specific visualizations.

Explanation of Correct Answers

B. View the chart in explorer mode, and choose + New View: Explorer mode allows creating a custom view of the chart with selected filters or dimensions.

C. Select the chart on the canvas, view the bookmark menu, and choose Bookmark Current State: Bookmarking saves the current state of the chart for easy retrieval later.

Explanation of Incorrect Answers

A. Export: Exporting does not save the state; it simply downloads the chart.

D. Explorer Mode Export: Similar to A, this does not save the state but generates an export file.
