In Discovery Boards, which field type does Workday automatically create summarization fields for?

• A. Boolean
• B. Numeric
• C. Text
• D. Date

Answer: (B)

Summaries in Discovery Boards hinge on numeric values because numbers are the ones you typically aggregate across records. Workday automatically creates summarization fields for numeric fields so you can compute totals, averages, minimums, maximums, and other aggregates that drive dashboards and charts. This automatic support makes it easy to build metrics like total sales, average cycle time, or overall quantity without manual setup.

Boolean, Text, and Date fields don’t have the same natural numeric aggregations, so they aren’t given automatic summarization fields. You can still count records or apply other non-sum-based logic in different ways, but the built-in automatic summarization is provided for numeric fields.
