SNOW-CAD Working with Data Practice Question
A report on the 'incident' table shows duplicate counts due to the 'active' field being true for some records that shouldn't be counted. The report is using a simple count. How can the admin ensure only active incidents are counted?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Add a filter condition: 'active = true'.
Adding a filter condition 'active = true' in the report configuration ensures that only incidents where the active field is true are counted, eliminating duplicate counts from inactive records. Option B is incorrect because a business rule would modify data rather than filter the report. Option C is incorrect because removing the active field from the report does not filter records; it only hides the field display. Option D is incorrect because grouping by active field would separate counts by active status but still count all records including inactive ones.
