Workday-Pro-Time-Tracking practice question 5 of 10

You are creating a time block conditional calculation. What business object can you use to check for adjusted, calculated time?

Full set: 55 questions
Answer options
A: Time Block Correct answer
B: Time Shift
C: Time Day
D: Time Week
Correct Answer:
A. Time Block
Explanation

When creating a conditional calculation, the logic needs to evaluate the state of time entries after previous calculations have run. The Time Block is the fundamental business object representing a segment of entered time. As calculations run, they can modify attributes of a Time Block, such as its Time Entry Code or add calculation tags. Therefore, to check for adjusted or calculated time, your condition will reference fields on the Time Block business object itself to see if a prior calculation has already processed it.

Why Incorrect

B. A Time Shift represents a worker's scheduled time. It is an input for time entry, not the object that holds the results of a calculation on entered time.
C. Time Day is an aggregate object representing the total hours for a day. It is not granular enough to check the status of a specific calculated block of time.
D. Time Week is an aggregate object for a week's worth of time. It is used for weekly totals, not for inspecting individual, adjusted time blocks.

It specifies that conditional logic for time calculations operates on and evaluates the attributes of the Time Block business object. (Section: "Conditional Calculations")

The guide on creating time calculations explains that conditions are built using fields from the Time Block business object to control when a calculation should run, such as checking the existing Time Entry Code on a block.
