Which report type allows for analysis of data across different categories in Workday?

The nBox report type is specifically designed to facilitate the analysis of data across different categories in Workday. This reporting feature allows users to create a matrix-style layout where multiple dimensions of data intersect, effectively enabling comparisons and cross-sectional analysis of different categories or groups.

This makes the nBox report particularly useful for understanding complex relationships between various data sets. For instance, HR professionals can analyze employee headcount distribution across departments and job levels simultaneously, making it easier to identify trends or anomalies that might require attention.

The other report types serve different purposes: Simple reports focus on straightforward data presentation without extensive filtering or categorization. Advanced reports offer more customization and complex calculations but do not inherently provide the cross-category analysis that nBox does. Transposed reports reorganize data for better readability but are not intended for comparative analytics. Therefore, nBox is the most suitable choice for analyzing data across multiple categories.
