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

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.

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.

Concatenation (A):

Calculated columns support concatenating text fields to create combined values (e.g., "First Name + Last Name").

Average (C):

Aggregating numerical data (e.g., computing the average of a numeric field) is supported in calculated columns.

To configure the Builder to display the chart in the screenshot, you must:

Set Dimensions to Gender (B):

Gender defines the chart’s grouping, ensuring the breakdown is displayed across male and female categories.

Set Color to Gender (C):

Using color for Gender distinguishes male and female headcounts visually in the bar chart.

Set Measures to EOP Headcount (E):

EOP (End-of-Period) Headcount is the quantitative measure displayed for each pay grade.

Schema and Table Relationships

In SAP SuccessFactors Story Reporting, tables are only displayed in theAvailable Datasection if they have a direct relationship or join with the selected starting table (in this case,Basic User Information).

Why the 2019 Performance Review Table is Missing

Since theBasic User Informationtable is selected, only tables directly related to it will appear. The 2019 Performance Review Table is likely not joined directly to the User schema.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

B (No Report Object Configuration Entity record): The table is present in the schema, so it must have a valid ROCE record.

C (No RBP permission): This would prevent any access to the table but does not explain its absence from the Available Data section.

D (No data access permission): This would restrict data access, not the visibility of the table.

Enabling Table Reports

To make table reporting available for a customer, the feature must first be enabled via theUpgrade Centerin Admin Center. This is the initial step to ensure table reporting is accessible in the instance.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

B. Enable Ad Hoc report builder and domain schemas in Provisioning: This is for enabling Ad Hoc Reporting, not table reporting.

C. Enable Table reports by assigning Role Based Permissions: Permissions are configured after enabling the feature.

D. Enable Table reports in Admin Center -> Manage Ad Hoc Reports: This is not the initial step; the feature must first be activated in the Upgrade Center.

Job Completion Notification:

When theJob Completion Notificationis enabled for a scheduled job, the scheduling user (User A) receives an email notification once the report distribution process is complete.

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.

Filter Types in Query Designer

AQuery Advanced Filteris used to define filter conditions across multiple tables in a single query. This is necessary when the criteria involve fields from different data sources.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A (Query Scope filter): Used to limit data based on scope, but it does not combine criteria across multiple tables.

B (Table Simple filter): Applies filters only to a single table.

D (Table Advanced filter): Applies advanced criteria but only within a single table.

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.

Pivot Chart Creation Process

To build a pivot chart based on a list report with a run-time filter, the filter must first be added to ensure the data being visualized reflects the selected filter criteria.

Explanation of Correct Answer

A pivot chart dynamically organizes and summarizes data. Adding the run-time filter beforehand ensures the chart is based on the filtered dataset.

Creating the chart after applying the filter allows for a more accurate representation of the desired data.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A: Filter groups are unrelated to this scenario.

B: Creating the chart before the filter would lead to inaccurate results.

C: While adding the filter first is correct, the chart must be created after this step.

Let me know if further clarification is required!

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").

Granting Tile Creation Permissions

To enable an analyst to build tiles, you need to assign the appropriate Role-Based Permission (RBP) in theManage Dashboards/Reportscategory.

Why Other Options are Incorrect

A. Analytics RBP Category: This does not provide permissions specific to tiles.

B. Dashboard administrator in Provisioning: Provisioning is not required for this task.

C. Dashboard Administrators Group: Adding to this group is not sufficient for tile creation.

Mismatch Between Drill-Down and Chart Values:

The mismatch occurs because the chart aggregates data, while the drill-down includes all entries (even duplicates).

Resolution:

Identify and remove the column in the drill-down configuration that causes multiple rows per metric (e.g., user-specific fields like title or ID).

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A:Filtering does not eliminate duplicates inherent in the column structure.

B:Removing the category assignment field alters the chart structure and is unnecessary.

C:Changing to Count (Distinct) affects the chart calculation but does not resolve the drill-down mismatch.

To include all employees in a report by default and allow runtime adjustments:

Enable User Prompted People Scope (A):

This allows the report runner to adjust the scope of employees included at runtime.

Set the People Scope Team Manager to Logged in User and Team Reporting Type to Other Filters (B):

By configuring the People Scope, all employees are included by default based on the team hierarchy, but the user can apply additional runtime filters to adjust the scope.

Runtime Filters (A):

These are filters that the user is prompted to set when executing a report. The user can define filter criteria dynamically at runtime.

People Scope (D):

This filter type allows reports to be filtered based on groups or populations defined in the user’s permissions, such as specific departments or locations.

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.

Accessing Standard Canvas Report Templates:

SAP SuccessFactors provides the latest versions of standard canvas report templates on theSAP Help Portal, which is a central resource for all official SAP documentation and templates.

Reporting Menu (A):

Users can access shared canvas reports directly from theReporting Menuin SAP SuccessFactors.

Report Center (D):

The primary location for managing and accessing all types of reports, including shared canvas reports, is theReport Center.

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.

Cause of the Issue:

Tiles are linked to specific domains. If a user does not haveRun Report Permissionfor the domain that a tile is based on, they will not be able to view the tile.

Resolution:

Check User B’s role-based permissions (RBP) for the domain linked to the fourth tile.

Ensure that theRun Report Permissionis granted for the respective domain.

Understanding the Query Designer Expression SyntaxIn SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics Query Designer, conditional expressions are used to transform or relabel fields based on logical conditions. These expressions rely on specific syntax that must be adhered to strictly. The issue in this scenario arises from the use of an incorrect separator in the conditional statement.

Analyzing the Given ExpressionThe expression provided:

IF([User#BasicUserInformation#Gender]="M" , "Male" : "Female")

contains a colon (:) as the separator between "Male" and "Female". However, the correct syntax requires the use of acomma (,)instead of the colon.

Correct Syntax Format for Conditional ExpressionsThe correct format for conditional expressions in SAP SuccessFactors People AnalyticsIF(Condition, Value_if_True, Value_if_False)

Applying this to the provided example, the correct expression should be:

IF([User#BasicUserInformation#Gender]="M", "Male", "Female")

Root Cause of the ErrorThe colon (:) is not recognized as a valid syntax separator in the Query Designer's conditional expression format. As a result, the formula cannot be computed, and an error is generated.

Resolving the IssueReplace the colon (:) with a comma (,), ensuring the conditional expression adheres to the correct syntax. The updated expression would look like this:

IF([User#BasicUserInformation#Gender]="M", "Male", "Female")

ValidationOnce corrected, the expression can be tested in Query Designer to confirm it computes without errors and provides the expected output.
