Concept: Interacting with Report Results
Drilling Down to View Additional Fields
When you enable
Drill Down Options
for matrix, nBox, and trending
reports, you can:- Drill down on a cell value and group results by another field.
- View detail data for summarized amounts.
Detail data displays current field values, but Workday calculates summary values when
you run the report. There might be a difference between summary values and detail data
if the data changed after you ran the report.
Exporting Report Output
To access report results outside of Workday, you can export report output as:
- PDF.
- Excel file.
When you export the report output as an Excel file, Workday runs the report again in the
background. A report that includes date or time fields might have different output in
the Excel file than what you view in Workday. Examples:
Current
Moment
, Days Since Completed
.You can’t download search report results as PDFs or Excel files.
Filtering by Facets
For advanced and search reports, you can add a search bar and facet filters that enable
users to further filter report results without running the report again.
When you enable
Facet Options
, the report results display a
search bar if the report data source contains searchable fields. Workday determines
which fields in each data source are searchable. When you search for a term, Workday
searches against all searchable fields in the report data source, not just the fields in
the report.
