NEW QUESTION # 21
For additional managers to participate in an employee's performance review, the employee's direct manager receives the Additional Manager task in their Inbox. They enter the employee's matrix manager, former manager, and a manager who works closely with the employee.
When they submit the task, an error displays. Why did the error occur?

- B. Additional managers can only receive a review that includes a Competencies section.
- C. Additional managers cannot receive a review that includes a Feedback section.
- D. You can only select additional managers who are members of the Manager security group.
Answer: B
Explanation:
* ForAdditional Managersto evaluate, the template must include aCompetencies section.
* If a review lacks competencies, additional managers cannot complete evaluations, and the system throws an error.
* Incorrect options:
* A. Feedback section # does not block additional managers.
* B. Manager security group # any nominated reviewer with correct access can be added; not restricted only to security group membership.
* D. Up to two additional managers # there is no hard limit of two; multiple can be assigned.

NEW QUESTION # 22
Before the performance review event began, workers set their goals. You want to automatically include their goals in the performance review content.
What configuration option do you select on the employee review template?
- A. Items Rated
- B. Allow User to Add Existing Goals Manually
- C. Show Additional Rating to Employee
- D. Load Relevant Goals
Answer: D
Explanation:
* To automatically include goals that workers set before the review began, enableLoad Relevant Goalson the employee review template.
* This ensures the goals tied to the review period are pulled into the content automatically.
* Incorrect options:
* Allow User to Add Existing Goals Manually# lets employees add goals one by one, not automatic.
* Show Additional Rating to Employee# provides extra rating display, unrelated to loading goals.
* Items Rated# defines what is rated in the review but doesn't auto-load goals.

NEW QUESTION # 23
You want to launch a performance review with calibration. The Talent Administrator would like to verify that all performance reviews are complete before calibration launches.
How do you configure the business process to meet this requirement?
- A. The Await Calibration Completion service step in the Complete Manager Evaluation for Performance Review business process
- B. Shared Participation step on the Launch Calibration business process
- C. To Do step on the Complete Manager Evaluation for Performance Review business process
- D. Update Performance Review Rating for Manager Evaluation step on the Complete Manager Evaluation for Performance Review business process
Answer: A
Explanation:
* When usingcalibrationwith performance reviews, Workday requires reviews to becompleted firstbefore calibration begins.
* The correct configuration is to insert the"Await Calibration Completion" service stepinto theComplete Manager Evaluation for Performance Reviewbusiness process.
* This ensures that calibration will not launch until all manager evaluations are complete.
* Other options:
* To Do step# only generates a reminder, not an enforced process dependency.
* Shared Participation step on Launch Calibration# configures collaboration for calibration itself, not sequencing.
* Update Performance Review Rating step# controls how ratings are updated, not workflow dependencies.

NEW QUESTION # 24
Your organization launches talent reviews for the entire organization on an annual basis. You created a new Talent Lead security group to initiate the talent review event.
What do you need to modify to enable this configuration?
- A. The Launch Talent Reviews business process security policy
- B. Both the Talent Review business process security policy and the Talent Review domain security policy
- C. The Talent Review business process security policy
- D. Both the Launch Talent Reviews business process security policy and the Talent Review domain security policy
Answer: D
Explanation:
This scenario involves enabling a new security group (Talent Lead) to initiate Talent Review events in Workday. To achieve this, you need to configure both the business process security and domain security that govern Talent Reviews.
* Launch Talent Reviews business process security policy
* This policy controls who has permission to initiate the Talent Review event.
* Without updating this, the new Talent Lead group cannot start the review process.
* Talent Review domain security policy
* This policy governs access to Talent Review objects, such as templates, review events, grids, and attributes.
* Without updating domain security, even if the group can launch the process, they will not be able to view or interact with the talent review itself.
* Incorrect alternatives
* Option B (Launch Talent Reviews only):This would allow the group to initiate the process, but they would lack access to view or work with the reviews.
* Option C (Talent Review business process security policy):There is no generic "Talent Review business process"; the correct one is "Launch Talent Reviews."
* Option D (Talent Review business process + domain security):Misstated. The business process in question is "Launch Talent Reviews," not a general Talent Review business process.
Therefore, the correct answer is to updateboth the Launch Talent Reviews business process security policy and the Talent Review domain security policyso that the Talent Lead group has both initiation rights and access permissions.
References
* Workday Pro Talent & Performance Certification Guide - Security in Talent Reviews: Explains that both business process security and domain security must be configured for security groups responsible for launching talent reviews.
* ERP Cloud Training - Talent Review Security: Notes that business process security grants initiation rights, while domain security controls access to objects and review content.
* Workday Community Documentation - Talent Review Setup: Confirms that both the Launch Talent Reviews business process policy and the Talent Review domain security policy must be modified when a new security group is added to initiate reviews.
NEW QUESTION # 25
You recently created a talent pool to help develop potential new managers. You added ten managers to the pool. Now you want to assign two self-development goals to each member of the talent pool.
What task allows you to assign those two goals to all members in one event?
- A. Maintain Goals Setup
- B. Create Goal for Worker
- C. Add Goal To Employees
- D. Manage Organization Goals
Answer: C
Explanation:
In Workday Talent & Performance, when you want to assign goals to a group of employees (such as everyone in a talent pool), you must use the"Add Goal To Employees"task.
Here's why:
* Create Goal for Worker
* This task is specific toone workerat a time. It would not allow you to mass-assign goals to multiple workers.
* Suitable when you want to add a goal for an individual employee.
* Manage Organization Goals
* Used to defineorganization-wide goals(e.g., company objectives).
* These can be cascaded, but they are not tied to an action that assigns two goals directly to all members of a talent pool.
* Maintain Goals Setup
* This is forconfiguring goal settings(e.g., categories, weights, behaviors) at the tenant level.
* It doesn't execute the action of assigning goals to workers.
* Add Goal To Employees
* Specifically designed formass goal assignment.
* You can select multiple employees (for example, all 10 members of your talent pool) and assign the same goals in a single event.
* This is the only option that fulfills the requirement of assigningtwo self-development goals to all membersin one step.
#References
* Talent & Performance Study Guide topics:
* Goal Management: Covers the difference between worker-specific vs. mass goal actions.
* Talent Pools: Workday documentation explains that pools are often used for succession planning and development, and "Add Goal to Employees" is the correct bulk action for assigning development activities.
* External Training Reference: ERP Cloud Training notes that"The Add Goal To Employees task allows administrators to assign multiple goals across groups such as talent pools or organizations, enabling faster alignment with development plans."#web source on Talent & Performance training#
* Workday Pro Talent & Performance Flashcards: Confirm that the correct way to mass assign goals is viaAdd Goal To Employeestask, not Manage Organization Goals (which is only for defining org-level goals).
NEW QUESTION # 26
What task do you configure to use suggested skills?
- A. Edit Tenant Setup - System
- B. Configure Optional Fields
- C. Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
- D. Maintain Skills and Experience Setup
Answer: D
Explanation:
* Suggested skills functionality is enabled and configured using theMaintain Skills and Experience Setuptask.
* This controls whether Workday will suggest skills to workers based on their profiles and activity.
* Incorrect options:
* Edit Tenant Setup - SystemandEdit Tenant Setup - HCM# global settings, not skill suggestions.
* Configure Optional Fields# defines visibility of fields but not skill suggestion functionality.
References:
Workday Talent & Performance documentation:"Suggested skills are configured in Maintain Skills and Experience Setup." Pro Talent certification material confirms this task.
NEW QUESTION # 27
An organization wants to assign the same employee on two succession plans.
What task should they use to complete this?
- A. Copy Succession Plan Candidates
- B. Manage Succession Plan
- C. Create Succession Pool
- D. Move Succession Plan
Answer: B
Explanation:
* TheManage Succession Plantask allows administrators or managers to assign employees to one or more succession plans, including assigning the same employee to multiple plans.
* Incorrect options:
* A. Create Succession Pool # creates a new pool, unrelated to assigning to multiple plans.
* B. Move Succession Plan # used for plan reorganization, not assigning individuals.
* C. Copy Succession Plan Candidates # duplicates candidate lists from one plan to another, but is not the standard method for assignment.

NEW QUESTION # 28
An enterprise uses only the job management staffing model.
What option groups workers for succession purposes?
- A. Candidate Pools
- B. Succession Plans
- C. Succession Pools
- D. Development Plan
Answer: C
Explanation:
* Even when using ajob management staffing model, organizations useSuccession Poolsto group workers for succession planning.
* Pools identify workers with potential to step into key roles in the future.
* Incorrect options:
* A. Development Plan # defines individual growth steps, not succession grouping.
* B. Candidate Pools # used in recruiting, not succession.
* C. Succession Plans # tied to specific positions or job profiles, not used for general grouping in job management models.
References:
Workday Succession Planning guide:"Succession Pools are used to group workers in job management staffing models."
NEW QUESTION # 29
Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.
Your organization is initiating employee reviews. There are several objectives for these reviews, including:
* Setting goals and reviewing them quarterly.
* Checking in with the new hire at 90 days.
* Annually reviewing performance.
* Performing multi-rater reviews.
You need to create a new annual review template with several sections, including Feedback, Goals, Questions, and Competencies.
What component is not a prerequisite to create a new annual review template with these sections?
- A. Review Types
- B. Review Questions
- C. Feedback Template
- D. Competencies
Answer: A
Explanation:
* To create a review template with sections such as Feedback, Goals, Questions, and Competencies, you must have these components configured in advance:
* Review Questions# required if the template uses a questions section.
* Feedback Template# required if a feedback section is included.
* Competencies# required if competencies are included.
* Review Typesare not a prerequisite to create a review template. They categorize reviews (annual, quarterly, etc.) but are not required in template configuration.
References:
Workday Review Template setup guidelines.
Workday Pro training material: "Questions, feedback templates, and competencies must be configured to build corresponding review sections."
NEW QUESTION # 30
Which configuration is responsible for determining what actions employees and managers can take during a talent review?
- A. Employee potential
- B. Domain security
- C. Organization membership
- D. Talent review template rule
Answer: D
Explanation:
This question is aboutTalent Reviewsin Workday and what drives the permissions or actions that employees and managers can take during the review process.
Let's analyze the choices:
* A. Organization membership
* Incorrect.
* Organization membership (e.g., supervisory org, talent pool) determineswhich workersare included in the review.
* It does not determinewhat actionsmanagers or employees can take.
* B. Employee potential
* Incorrect.
* Employee potential is anattribute(like performance, loss impact, retention risk) used for evaluation in the talent review grid.
* It informs thecontentof the review, not the actions available to participants.
* C. Domain security
* Partially correct but not the best answer.
* Domain security determineswho has accessto initiate or view Talent Reviews, but it does not driveprocess actions inside the review(such as rating, adding notes, or calibrating).
* D. Talent review template rule
* Correct.
* TheTalent Review Template Ruledefines theconfiguration of the talent review process, including:
* Which sections appear (e.g., 9-box grid, attributes, notes).
* Which actions participants (employees, managers, HR partners) can perform.
* Whether calibration is enabled, whether participants can move employees between grid boxes, and other interactive review behaviors.
* This is the configuration responsible for controllingwhat employees and managers can do during a talent review event.
Therefore, the correct answer isTalent review template rule.
#References
* Workday Pro Talent & Performance Certification Guide - Talent Reviews:"The talent review template rule determines the structure of the review and what actions participants may take during the review."
* ERP Cloud Training - Workday Talent Reviews:"Template rules control functionality such as allowing participants to update potential ratings, add notes, or move workers in the grid. Security domains only manage access."
* Workday Community Documentation - Talent Review Configuration:Confirms thattemplate rules define the actions and behaviors within a talent review session.
NEW QUESTION # 31
You want to ensure consistency when reporting responses on specific feedback templates.
What functionality prevents workers from changing questions on a feedback template?
- A. Template Type
- B. Lock Template
- C. Question Tags
- D. Condition Rules
Answer: B
Explanation:
* To ensure consistent reporting, feedback templates can be set asLocked.
* ALocked Feedback Templateprevents managers or workers from modifying the questions-no additions, edits, or deletions are allowed.
* Other options are not correct:
* Condition Rules# used for dynamic behavior and field visibility, not for locking questions.
* Template Type# defines type (e.g., Feedback vs. Review), not question editability.
* Question Tags# used for categorization and reporting but do not prevent changes.
References:
Workday Talent & Performance configuration material: "Lock Template prevents edits to template questions." Workday Pro certification study content on feedback management.
NEW QUESTION # 32
Your performance review template has three sections, in addition to an Overall section. The template uses item averaging to calculate an overall rating.
Managers will enter ratings for multiple items in each of the first three sections.
What is the expected behavior when Workday calculates the overall rating?
- A. The calculation includes assigned weightings for each item.
- B. The calculation includes assigned weightings for each item and each section.
- C. The calculation includes assigned weightings for each section.
- D. The calculation includes an equal weight to each item rated.
Answer: D
Explanation:
* When a performance review template usesItem Averaging:
* Workday calculates the average rating acrossall rated itemswithin the sections.
* Each item carriesequal weight, regardless of section or item weighting.
* If weighting was required, you would instead useWeighted Average, which allows assigning weights to items and/or sections.
* Therefore, item averaging =equal weight for each item.

- A. The manager may edit the defaulted questions to better meet their requirements.
- B. The manager may add additional new questions.
- C. The manager may add a question from a bank of previously written questions.
- D. The manager may only use the default questions.
Answer: D
Explanation:
* Feedback templatesin Workday can be delivered aslockedoreditable.
* Alocked feedback templateensures consistency across the organization, meaning the manager cannot add, edit, or delete questions.

* Options A, C, and D would apply if the template were editable, but they are not possible in a locked template.
References:
Workday Feedback configuration documentation.
Workday Pro Talent & Performance certification study material:"Locked templates prevent managers from adding or editing questions. Only the delivered questions are used."
NEW QUESTION # 34
While configuring the Performance Review business process, you added a Complete Additional Manager Evaluation step. However, when testing, the manager is not receiving the Inbox task to select other managers.
What do you configure on the employee review template to route this step to the manager's Inbox?
- A. Add a rule in the Applies To field to limit performance reviews to workers with additional jobs.
- B. Add a competencies section to the template.
- C. Require Additional Managers to enter a comment in the Overall section.
- D. Enable the Additional Manager Evaluation for All Sections on the Other Reviewer Options section.
Answer: D
Explanation:
* When you add aComplete Additional Manager Evaluationstep in the Performance Review BP, the system only generates the Inbox task if the employee review template is configured to allow it.
* This is controlled in theOther Reviewer Options sectionof the template.
* You must enable"Additional Manager Evaluation for All Sections"for the task to route correctly.
* Incorrect options:
* A. Adding a competencies section is unrelated to routing.
* B. Requiring comments in the Overall section doesn't trigger the step.
* D. Applies To field rules limit applicability but won't control routing to the direct manager.

What type of talent pool do you create?
- A. Restricted Static Talent Pool
- B. Open Dynamic Talent Pool
- C. Open Static Talent Pool
- D. Restricted Dynamic Talent Pool
Answer: D
Explanation:
* ADynamic Talent Poolautomatically updates membership based on the results of a saved search.
* Making itRestrictedensures that access is limited-so onlyManagershave visibility/permissions to the members of their supervisory organization.
* Incorrect options:

- C. Private Dynamic Talent Pool
- D. Private Static Talent Pool
Answer: D
Explanation:
* Static Talent Poolsallowmanual addition and removalof members.
* Privatemeans the pool is only visible to the creator and not shared with others.
