What must be included with a unique report name when creating a custom report?

When creating a custom report in Workday, it is essential to specify a data source along with a unique report name. The data source defines the set of information or dataset that the report will draw from. This is crucial because it determines the fields and data available for inclusion in the report. Without a specified data source, the report cannot retrieve the necessary information, making it ineffective.

In addition to the unique report name, having a data source ensures that users can generate accurate and relevant reports based on the specific metrics and information they need. Therefore, specifying the data source is a fundamental step in the report creation process.

Other elements such as report description, report owner, and report objective can enhance the report's usability and provide context but are not as critical as identifying the data source when initiating the creation of a custom report.
