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.

Standard canvas report templates are pre-built report designs provided by SAP. Before these templates can be imported and used within the Report Center, they must first be enabled in the company's instance via Provisioning. This is a backend configuration step typically performed by an implementation partner or SAP support. Once enabled, an administrator with the necessary permissions can then access and import these templates through the Report Center interface for customization and use.

A. The Success Store is a repository for additional applications and content, but the core standard report templates are enabled directly through Provisioning, not downloaded from the Success Store.

C. While many templates use Employee Central data, canvas reporting is a platform-level tool. Standard templates exist for various modules (e.g., Recruiting, Performance Management), not just Employee Central.

D. Loading templates within Report Center is the action an administrator takes after the prerequisite of enabling them in Provisioning has been met. It is a step in the process, not the initial prerequisite.

1. SAP Help Portal: Implementing and Using Analytics and Reporting in SAP SuccessFactors

Document: Implementing and Using Analytics and Reporting in SAP SuccessFactors (Guide for HXM Suite)

Section: "Standard Report Templates"

Content: This guide explicitly states, "To make the standard templates available for import in Report Center, go to Provisioning and select the company. Under Analytics and Dashboard Tabs & Misc Reporting, select Enable Standard Report Templates." This directly confirms that enabling the feature in Provisioning is the required prerequisite.

2. SAP Help Portal: Report Center in SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Document: Report Center in SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite (Guide)

Section: "Importing a Report"

Content: The documentation details the process of importing reports, including standard templates, from within the Report Center. This process is only possible after the templates have been made available to the instance, which, as per the implementation guide, is done via Provisioning. This implicitly supports that the Provisioning step is a prerequisite.

In SAP SuccessFactors, when a user with managerial responsibilities builds a query or a report, the system defaults the People Scope to "Direct Reports of the logged-in user." This is a fundamental security and data privacy design principle. It ensures that by default, managers only see data for the employees they directly manage, which is the most common use case. Users with the necessary permissions can then modify this scope to include indirect reports ("All Reports") or other defined target populations, but the initial, safest default is always the most restrictive and relevant group.

B. The HR reports of the logged-in user: This is not a standard system-defined scope; "HR reports" is an ambiguous term and not a default setting.

C. All Reports of the logged-in user: This scope, which includes both direct and indirect reports, is a common option but not the default. The default is more restrictive.

D. All employees in the department of the logged-in user: This defines a scope based on departmental structure, not the user's reporting hierarchy, and is not the default setting.

1. SAP SuccessFactors Reporting and Analytics Administration Guide: In the section "People Scope in Report Center," the guide explicitly states, "By default, the People Scope is set to Direct Reports of the logged-in user." (Document available on the SAP Help Portal).

2. Implementing and Using Ad Hoc Reporting in SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite: The guide details the configuration of report scopes. In the section on "Report Definition," it describes the default behavior for managers, which is to limit the initial scope to their direct reports to align with standard role-based permissions. (Document available on the SAP Help Portal).

The SAP Help Portal is the central, official repository for all SAP product documentation, implementation guides, and standard content. SAP provides a set of standard canvas report templates that customers can download and import into their instances. These templates, along with the guides on how to use them, are consistently updated and made available for download directly from the SAP Help Portal under the SAP SuccessFactors Human Experience Management (HXM) Suite section.

A. SAP Support Portal: This portal is primarily for creating support incidents, searching Knowledge Base Articles (KBAs), and downloading software, not for accessing standard content templates.

B. SAP SuccessFactors HCM Cloud Operations Portal: This portal is used for monitoring system availability, performance, and managing cloud-related operational tasks, not for application content.

C. SAP PartnerEdge: This is a resource portal for SAP partners. While partners can access the templates, it is not the primary, universal source for all customers.

1. SAP Help Portal - Implementing and Using Analytics and Reporting (Report - Canvas) in SAP SuccessFactors: In the section "Standard Report Templates," the guide explicitly states, "SAP SuccessFactors provides a set of standard report templates that you can download from the SAP Help Portal and import into your instance." (Access the latest version of this guide on help.sap.com for SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite).

2. SAP Knowledge Base Article (KBA) 2512765 - Standard Report Templates for Report - Canvas: This KBA confirms that the standard report templates are available for download on the SAP Help Portal and provides a direct link to the relevant documentation page.

In SAP SuccessFactors, access to data within table reports (Ad Hoc reports) is governed by Role-Based Permissions (RBP). The permission type that controls which records a user can see is effectively row-level permission. This is determined by the combination of the user's target population, which defines which employees (rows of data) they are authorized to see, and their 'View' permissions, which define which data fields (columns) they can see for that specific population. The target population is the primary mechanism for filtering the rows in the report output.

A. Run report permission: This permission only determines whether a user can execute a specific report or report type, not which data rows are visible within the report.

C. Field level permission: This is controlled by the 'View' permissions and determines which columns (data fields) are visible, not which employee records (rows) are returned.

D. Cell level permission: This is not a standard permission concept in SuccessFactors RBP. Access is controlled at the broader row and field levels, and their intersection determines cell visibility.

1. SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite, Implementing Role-Based Permissions Guide: In the section "About This Guide," the document states, "The target population of the permission role defines whose data the granted user can access." This directly correlates the target population to controlling access to specific employee records, which function as rows in a report. (Document available on SAP Help Portal, specific version for CTHR922505).

2. SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite, Creating and Using Ad Hoc Reports Guide: In the chapter on "Permissions for Ad Hoc Reports," it is explained that "The data you can see in a report is controlled by Role-Based Permissions (RBP). For example, you can only see data for employees in your target population." This explicitly confirms that the target population filters the rows of data a user is permitted to view in a report. (Document available on SAP Help Portal, specific version for CTHR922505).

In SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics Story reports, which are built on SAP Analytics Cloud technology, an Input Control acts as a page filter. To make this single filter apply to multiple widgets (like the chart and table shown) on the same canvas page, you must configure their interaction. This is achieved using the Linked Analysis feature. By setting up Linked Analysis, you define that the page filter (the Input Control) should affect all relevant widgets on the page, ensuring that when a user makes a selection, both the chart and the table are filtered simultaneously and consistently.

B. Create the corresponding filter on each chart. This is inefficient and defeats the purpose of having a single, user-friendly Input Control on the canvas for global page filtering.

C. Enable Cascading Effects. This feature defines dependencies between different filters (e.g., selecting a country limits the city options), not how one filter applies to multiple charts or tables.

D. Convert it to a Story Filter. Converting a page filter to a Story Filter extends its scope across multiple pages, but the fundamental mechanism that connects the filter to the widgets on a single page is still Linked Analysis.

1. SAP Help Portal - SAP Analytics Cloud, "Applying Linked Analysis in a Story":

This official documentation explains the core concept: "Linked analysis allows you to create interactions between charts... For example, you can have a filter in one chart apply to other charts in your story." It details how to configure interactions for page filters (Input Controls) to apply to "All Widgets on the Page" or "Only Selected Widgets". This directly addresses the scenario in the question.

Reference: SAP Analytics Cloud > Stories > Applying Linked Analysis in a Story.

2. SAP Help Portal - SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics, "Report Stories Administration Guide":

Chapter: "Designing a Story". This guide details the components of a story, including pages, widgets, and filters. It clarifies that the functionality for widget interaction and filtering is inherited from the underlying SAP Analytics Cloud platform, directing users to the relevant SAC documentation for features like Linked Analysis.

Reference: SAP Help Portal, SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite, People Analytics > Report Stories. (The specific section on widget interaction points to the SAC functionality).

3. SAP Learning Hub - Course THR92 - SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics: Reporting and Story Design:

Unit: "Creating Stories". This courseware explicitly covers the creation of pages with multiple widgets and the use of page filters (Input Controls). The exercises and demonstrations show that to make an Input Control filter multiple charts and tables, the "Linked Analysis" panel must be used to define the scope of the filter's influence on the page's widgets.

Reference: THR92 Course Materials, Unit on Story Design, Section on Page Filters and Widget Interactions.

Multi-Dataset table reports (formerly Ad Hoc reports) in SAP SuccessFactors are designed to pull data from multiple, distinct data domains into a single output file. The system executes a separate query for each dataset included in the report; therefore, the data from different domains is not joined at the query level. When such a report is run without the BIRT template, the standard output is a single Microsoft Excel workbook. Within this workbook, the results from each dataset are presented on a separate worksheet (tab), reflecting the un-joined nature of the underlying data queries.

B. Report results are shown on a single tab in the output.

This is incorrect. The standard behavior is to place each dataset's results on a separate tab to maintain data separation.

C. Data is joined in the query.

This is incorrect. Multi-Dataset reports run independent queries for each dataset. Data joining is a feature of other tools like Canvas (Report - Story) reports.

1. SAP Help Portal, Implementing and Using Reporting and Analytics in SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite, Document Version: 2H 2023.

In the section "Creating a Table Report", the subsection "Creating a Report with Multiple Datasets" states: "When you run a report with multiple datasets, the output is an Excel file with one worksheet for each dataset." This directly supports answer A.

The fundamental design of Multi-Dataset reports, as described in the same guide, involves selecting distinct data "domains". This architecture implies that separate, independent queries are run for each domain, rather than a single, joined query. This supports the conclusion for answer D.

2. SAP Training Courseware, THR92 - SAP SuccessFactors Reporting and Analytics.

The module on Ad Hoc / Table Reporting explains that the Multi-Dataset functionality is for reporting across different subject areas that cannot be joined directly in the query engine. It explicitly contrasts this with single-domain reports where related data is joined. This confirms that data is NOT joined in the query (D) and is presented separately (A).

When inline translation is enabled for a Story report in SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics, a source language must be established. The user enabling the translation is prompted to select this source language from a list of all locales currently enabled within the SAP SuccessFactors instance. Once the source language is set, a critical restriction is imposed: all future structural and content-related edits to the Story report (such as modifying charts, tables, or queries) can only be performed in that designated source language. This ensures a single, consistent master version from which all other language translations are derived and maintained.

C. The source language is set to the current locale of the individual who enabled translation.

This is incorrect. The source language is not automatically assigned; it must be explicitly selected by the user from a dropdown list of enabled locales during the setup process.

D. The report can be edited in any language.

This is incorrect. To maintain translation integrity and consistency, editing is strictly limited to the designated source language after translation has been enabled.

1. SAP Help Portal, Implementing and Administering People Analytics, Section: Translating Stories.

This document states, "In the Enable Translation dialog, select a language from the Source Language dropdown list. The list shows all locales that are enabled in your instance." This directly supports answer A.

The same section also states, "After you enable translation for a story, you can only edit it in the source language." This directly supports answer B and refutes answer D. The requirement to select a language refutes answer C.

YouCalc Designer is a desktop-based application that you download and install on your local machine. It allows developers and administrators to build custom, interactive dashboards and tiles offline. The design process, including data modeling and visualization, happens within this standalone tool. Once the tile or dashboard is complete, the resulting file (typically a .swf file) is uploaded into the SAP SuccessFactors instance through the Admin Center to be made available to users. This workflow distinguishes it as the tool for creating these specific components offline.

B. Query Workspace: This is an online tool within the Report Center (Canvas Reports) used to build data queries directly inside the SuccessFactors application.

C. Advance Reporting: This is a toolset within the online Canvas Reports framework for creating complex, multi-page reports, not an offline tile creation tool.

D. Detailed Reporting: This is another online tool within Canvas Reports, primarily used for creating simple, list-based reports directly in the SuccessFactors instance.

1. SAP Help Portal, Implementing Tiles and Dashboards in SAP SuccessFactors: In the section "Process of Building Dashboards," the guide states, "YouCalc Dashboard Builder is a desktop tool that you use to build dashboards. You can download the tool from Admin Center... You build the dashboard in the YouCalc Dashboard Builder and then upload the SWF file to the instance." This confirms its nature as an offline desktop tool. (Reference: SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite, Implementing Tiles and Dashboards, Document Version: 2H 2023).

2. SAP Help Portal, Implementing Reporting and Analytics in SAP SuccessFactors: The guide describes Canvas Reports (which include Advanced Reporting, Detailed Reporting, and Query Workspace) as an integrated solution accessed via the Report Center. The entire creation process is detailed as occurring within the live SuccessFactors instance, contrasting with the offline nature of the YouCalc Designer. (Reference: SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite, Implementing Reporting and Analytics, Document Version: 2H 2023, Section: "Canvas Reports").

A bookmark in an SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics Story report saves the current interactive state of the report, allowing users to return to a specific view or analysis. This saved state includes the configuration of user-driven controls that define the data being displayed. Specifically, it captures the values selected for Filters, the settings for Input controls, and the variables entered for Prompts. Applying the bookmark re-applies these settings to the report, recreating the saved view with the most current data.

C. Comments: Comments are considered a separate layer of collaborative annotation and are not part of the navigational or filter state captured by a bookmark.

E. Data: A bookmark saves the report's configuration settings, not the underlying transactional data itself. The data is retrieved live from the source when the bookmark is applied.

1. SAP Help Portal, SAP Analytics Cloud, "Bookmarking a State in a Story": "When you create a bookmark, you save the state of the story, including any changes you've made to filters, input controls, prompts, and tables or charts... When you open the bookmark, the story opens and the saved states are reapplied." This document explicitly lists filters, input controls, and prompts as saved elements.

2. SAP Knowledge Base Article (KBA) 2890814 - "What is saved in a bookmark in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)?": This KBA details the components saved in a bookmark. It confirms that "Story / Page / Local Filter values", "Input Control values", and "Variable Prompt values" are saved. It also clarifies that the underlying data is not saved.

3. SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics: Reporting and Analytics (THR92) Course Material: The official training course for the CTHR922505 certification details the functionality of Story reports. In the section covering report interaction and personalization, it specifies that bookmarks are used to save personalized views, which include the state of filters, prompts, and input controls.
