About the People Analytics: Reporting (C_THR92) certification
C_THR92 is SAP’s associate-level credential for building and managing reports with SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics — the reporting and analytics layer that turns HR data across the suite into lists, dashboards, and interactive stories for data-driven workforce decisions. For how SAP certification exams work generally, see the certification study guides in our Learning Hub.
The concept that anchors the exam is Report Center, the modern SAP Fiori hub that centralizes all five report types — Tiles, Dashboards, Table, Canvas, and Story reports — so you build and run everything from one place. Story reports are the heaviest exam area and the central, modern report type; Table reports (formerly Ad Hoc) and Canvas reports (formerly Online Report Designer) round out the custom-reporting tools, while tiles and dashboards give managers a quick visual view. Data can be live (Detailed Reporting) or replicated (Advanced Reporting and Workforce Analytics).
Every PowerKram practice question maps to one of the competency areas below and links to the SAP Learning or SAP Help page it derives from, so a weak spot becomes a specific reading step rather than a guess.
C_THR92 topic areas and weights
Unlike some SAP exams, C_THR92 publishes topic-area weights. Story Reports is by far the heaviest area, followed by Report Consumers; the remaining tools are each up to 10%. Plan your study roughly in proportion, and prioritize Story reports. SAP may adjust weighting at any time, so verify before you schedule.
Building Story reports — the modern, central People Analytics report type — with charts, tables, input controls, Linked Analysis, pivot tables, and filters for specific user groups.
How report consumers access, view, filter, and interact with published reports and dashboards, and the permissions that govern what each user can see.
Enabling the various reporting and analytics tools in Provisioning, and the role-based permissions required in Admin Center to build and run each report type.
Building tiles with the click-through wizard, combining tiles into dashboards, applying filters, assigning access, and pushing tiles to the home page and mobile.
Building detailed/operational reports directly on live transactional data, and where live reporting fits versus replicated approaches.
Building free-form, presentation-ready multi-page Canvas reports by dragging components onto a canvas; Canvas Designer permissions and standard templates.
Reporting on replicated data for performance and complex queries, and how Advanced Reporting relates to Workforce Analytics measures and dimensions.
Building custom list/ad-hoc reports (Table, formerly Ad Hoc Reports) and sharing or scheduling them from Report Center.

Who C_THR92 is for
SAP positions C_THR92 as an entry-level qualification for functional consultants enabling and configuring People Analytics reporting, and it targets SAP partner consultants, since only registered partners receive provisioning rights after certifying. The audience:
- SuccessFactors reporting consultants configuring Report Center, Story, Table, and Canvas reports and dashboards for customers under senior guidance.
- HRIS and HR analytics professionals who own SuccessFactors reporting and want to build stories and dashboards, not just run them.
- Data-visualization and BI professionals handling HR data who need the SuccessFactors reporting architecture and permissions model.
- SuccessFactors specialists supporting digital HR transformation who want strong cross-module reporting capabilities.
People Analytics reports across the whole suite, so it builds directly on Employee Central Core data and complements enterprise analytics in SAP Analytics Cloud (the same Story technology powers modern People Analytics stories). For the consultant roles this credential supports, see the functional-consultant career paths in our Career Hub.

What is the role of Report Center in SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics?
- It runs payroll for reporting users
- It centralizes all report types (Tiles, Dashboards, Table, Canvas, Story) in one place to build and run reports
- It schedules interviews for recruiting
- It stores employee master data
Show answer & explanation
Correct: B. Report Center centralizes all the reporting components — Tiles, Dashboards, Table, Canvas, and Story reports — into one modern SAP Fiori interface, so you can build, edit, and run every report type from a single location.
Why not the others: it doesn’t run payroll (A) or schedule interviews (C), and it’s a reporting hub, not the store of employee master data (D).
Source: SAP Help — Report Center → Further reading: PowerKram — Employee Central Core →Which report type is the modern, central report type in SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics?
- Story reports
- Legacy Ad Hoc reports only
- Payroll posting reports
- Career-site reports
Show answer & explanation
Correct: A — Story reports. The Story report type is a central part of the People Analytics solution and the modern reporting tool (built on SAP Analytics Cloud technology), offering richer visualizations, interactive tiles and dashboards, and flexible pivot tables.
Why not the others: Ad Hoc (now Table) is a legacy custom-report tool, not the central modern type (B); payroll posting reports (C) and career-site reports (D) aren’t People Analytics report types.
Source: SAP Help — Stories in People Analytics →On a Story report canvas, you want an input control to filter only the charts but not the table. Which feature achieves this targeted interaction?
- Cascading Effects
- Story Filter
- Linked Analysis
- A manual filter on every component
Show answer & explanation
Correct: C — Linked Analysis. Configuring the input control for Linked Analysis lets interactions apply only to selected visuals on the same canvas, so the control can filter the charts while leaving the table unaffected.
Why not the others: Cascading Effects (A) is not the targeted-filtering mechanism here; a Story Filter (B) would apply to the whole story; and adding a manual filter to each component (D) is redundant when Linked Analysis automates the behavior.
Source: SAP Help — Story input controls & Linked Analysis →A consultant needs to build a formatted, presentation-ready multi-page report by dragging tables and charts onto a layout. Which report type fits?
- A tile
- A payroll control record
- A succession org chart
- A Canvas report
Show answer & explanation
Correct: D — a Canvas report. The Canvas template (formerly Online Report Designer) lets you build free-form reports by dragging and dropping components such as tables or charts onto a canvas, producing formatted, presentation-ready multi-page output.
Why not the others: a tile (A) is a single simple visualization; a payroll control record (B) belongs to payroll; and a succession org chart (C) belongs to Succession.
Source: SAP Help — Canvas reports → Further reading: PowerKram — SAP Analytics Cloud →Which report type was earlier known as Ad Hoc Reports and is used to build custom list reports?
- Story
- Tile
- Table
- Dashboard
Show answer & explanation
Correct: C — Table. The Table template lets you create custom list reports and share them across the organization; it was earlier known as Ad Hoc Reports.
Why not the others: Story (A) is the modern central type; a Tile (B) is a single visualization; and a Dashboard (D) combines tiles — none of these is the former Ad Hoc tool.
Source: SAP Help — Table reports →How are tiles used in the tile-based dashboard framework?
- They run background data-replication jobs
- They provide simple chart outputs that can be combined into dashboards and pushed to the home page and mobile
- They define role-based permissions
- They store the exchange-rate table
Show answer & explanation
Correct: B. Tiles provide simple chart outputs that can be embedded across the suite, combined into dashboards, and pushed to the home page and mobile devices, giving managers a dynamic view of key HR processes.
Why not the others: tiles don’t run replication jobs (A), define permissions (C), or store exchange rates (D) — those belong to other parts of the system.
Source: SAP Help — Tiles & dashboards → Further reading: PowerKram — Employee Central Core →Before standard Canvas report templates can be used, what must happen?
- Each learner must self-enable them
- They must be enabled in Provisioning by an implementation partner or SAP administrator
- They are always on and require no setup
- They must be purchased per report
Show answer & explanation
Correct: B. Standard Canvas report templates must be enabled in Provisioning by an implementation partner or SAP administrator before they can be used, after which the appropriate role-based permissions (such as Canvas Designer) are granted in Admin Center.
Why not the others: end users can’t self-enable Provisioning settings (A); the templates aren’t on by default (C); and they aren’t purchased per report (D).
Source: SAP Help — Provisioning & templates →How is access to build and run reports controlled in SAP SuccessFactors reporting?
- Every user can access every report by default
- By the payroll control center
- By the succession nomination method
- By granting role-based permissions only to authorized users
Show answer & explanation
Correct: D. Access to build and run reports is controlled by granting role-based permissions only to authorized users. Canvas reports, for example, respect Role-Based Permissions because the data does not leave the secure data center.
Why not the others: reporting is not open to everyone by default (A); the payroll control center (B) and succession nomination method (C) belong to other modules.
Source: SAP Help — Reporting permissions → Further reading: PowerKram — Employee Central Core →An administrator needs to send reports automatically to stakeholders on a schedule. Which capability supports this?
- The Report Distributor / Report Scheduler (email or FTP)
- The succession Matrix Grid
- The learning history connector
- The compensation worksheet
Show answer & explanation
Correct: A. Using the Report Distributor or Report Scheduler, administrators can send reports as attachments by email or FTP, and schedule Table reports to run at set intervals with output collected from Report Center.
Why not the others: the Matrix Grid (B) belongs to Succession, the learning history connector (C) to Learning, and the compensation worksheet (D) to Compensation.
Source: SAP Help — Report Distributor & Scheduler → Further reading: PowerKram — SAP Analytics Cloud →Which statement best distinguishes the Detailed Reporting tool from the Advanced Reporting tool?
- Detailed Reporting only works for payroll; Advanced Reporting only for recruiting
- They are identical tools with different names
- Detailed Reporting works on live transactional data, while Advanced Reporting works on replicated data
- Neither can be used inside Report Center
Show answer & explanation
Correct: C. Detailed Reporting builds reports on live transactional data, while Advanced Reporting uses replicated data (well suited to heavier queries and combined with Workforce Analytics measures and dimensions). Reports can include live detailed data, Advanced Reporting data, or Workforce Analytics data.
Why not the others: the tools aren’t module-locked to payroll/recruiting (A); they are genuinely different (B); and both are surfaced through Report Center (D).

Deep dive: C_THR92 scope, the report types, study path, and recertification
Report Center and the five report types
The concept that unlocks C_THR92 is Report Center: a single SAP Fiori hub that centralizes Tiles, Dashboards, Table, Canvas, and Story reports. Story is the modern, central type (and the heaviest exam area) with rich visualizations, input controls, and Linked Analysis; Table (formerly Ad Hoc) builds custom lists; Canvas (formerly Online Report Designer) builds formatted multi-page reports; and tiles combine into dashboards for a manager’s-eye view. Knowing which tool fits which job is most of the exam. See SAP Analytics Cloud →
Live versus replicated data
Reports draw on different data foundations: Detailed Reporting works on live transactional data for up-to-the-minute operational lists, while Advanced Reporting works on replicated data suited to heavier queries and combined with Workforce Analytics measures and dimensions. Understanding when to use live versus replicated data, and how each performs, is a recurring theme. See Employee Central Core →
Permissions, consumers, and distribution
Access to build and run reports is controlled by role-based permissions, and Canvas reports respect RBP because the data never leaves the secure data center. Report consumers view, filter, and interact with published reports and dashboards, and administrators can push output out on a schedule using the Report Distributor and Report Scheduler (email or FTP). Standard Canvas templates must first be enabled in Provisioning. See the analytics companion →
Realistic study path
Most candidates work through SAP’s Platform: Reporting Academy course, get hands-on in a demo instance building Story, Table, and Canvas reports, tiles, and dashboards, and configuring provisioning settings and permissions, then finish with scenario-based practice. Because Story reports are 31–40% of the exam, spend the most time there, then Report Consumers, then the remaining tools. Read the certification study guides →
Provisioning rights and recertification
Only registered SAP partner consultants receive provisioning rights after certifying; customers do not have Provisioning access, though the credential still validates their knowledge. Certifications are valid for 12 months and renew via the free annual Stay Certified assessment that tracks the latest release — important because People Analytics ships frequent cloud updates.
