To isolate records for a specific year using a date field, a date range filter must be created. This requires two distinct filter conditions: a start date and an end date. Option A correctly establishes the lower bound of the filter (on or after January 1, 1961), and Option B correctly establishes the upper bound (on or before December 31, 1961). When applied together in the "Manage Query Filters" tool, these two conditions will return only employees born in 1961. To meet the second requirement, these filters would then be marked as "Selectable at Runtime" within the filter configuration, allowing the report runner to input different dates.

C: The "Date Options" feature is designed to handle effective-dated information (e.g., an employee's job history), not for filtering on a static, non-effective-dated field like Date of Birth.

D: Similar to option C, using "As of Date" in "Date Options" is incorrect as it applies to time-slicing effective-dated records, which is not the purpose of filtering by birth date.

1. SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite, "Implementing and Managing Reporting and Analytics" Document, 2H 2023.

Section: Filtering Data in a Detailed Reporting Query. This section details the process of adding filters to a query. It explains that to create a range filter, you must add two separate filter conditions using operators such as "Greater than or equal to" and "Less than or equal to". It also describes the "Selectable at Runtime" option to create dynamic filters.

2. SAP Help Portal, "Report - Canvas Design" Guide.

Section: Creating and Managing Filters. The documentation specifies that filtering on specific column values, like a date of birth, is done through the "Manage Query Filters" interface. It confirms that a date range requires defining both a start and an end point as separate filter criteria.

3. SAP Learning Hub, Course THR92: SAP SuccessFactors Reporting and Analytics.

Unit: Report - Canvas. This course material explicitly demonstrates creating runtime filters. It shows that for a date range, two filter prompts are typically created (e.g., "Start Date" and "End Date") by defining two separate filter conditions on the same date field and making them selectable at runtime.
