A custom report has a prompt for Include Subordinate Organizations. How can you set the prompt value to always be yes and hide this prompt from users?

• A. Data Source Filter
• B. Do Not Prompt at Runtime
• C. Page Level Prompt
• D. User Security Role

Answer: (A)

In Workday reporting, a data source filter is used to constrain the data that the report returns, without showing any prompts to the user. By applying a data source filter that fixes Include Subordinate Organizations to Yes, you ensure the report always runs with that setting and the prompt isn’t presented to users. So, the best approach is to add a data source filter on the report’s data source, set the Include Subordinate Organizations value to Yes, and save. This locks in the choice and hides the prompt because it’s no longer a user-prompted parameter at runtime. The other options would display prompts or rely on security alone, which wouldn’t achieve both the fixed value and the hidden prompt.
