If a report shows Citizenship Status for some employees but not others, what is the most likely cause?

• A. The data is missing for those employees
• B. A specific date/time in the future
• C. Constrained access
• D. The report is filtered

Answer: (C)

The situation points to constrained access. In Workday, who can see certain personal data—like Citizenship Status—is controlled by security roles and data access rules. If your security profile allows you to view Citizenship Status for some employees but not for others, those fields will appear blank for the records you’re not permitted to see. This isn’t about the data being missing in the system for those employees; it’s about your visibility being restricted by access controls.

Other options don’t fit as well. If data were truly missing for those employees, you’d expect the field to be blank due to absent records rather than due to your view restrictions. A date/time in the future doesn’t affect whether you can see a static field like Citizenship Status. If the report were filtered, you would simply see a subset defined by the filter, not a mix where some employees show a value and others don’t based on their data alone.
