Reports and Documentation

The Workforce Detail dashboard has reports to view data by job, compensation, and job funding. For each of these focus areas, you can view data as of a specific date or for a date range that you specify.

  • The As Of Date reports use the Effective Date to select data.
  • The by Date Range reports allow you specify the type of date to select data; choices include effective date, expected end date, action date, probation end date, and visa permit expiration date. Widen your timeframe if you don't get results for the date you are looking for, because the record may have a date before or after your date.

Each report is built with a default set of columns arranged in a specific order. You can right-click on a report heading to present a menu of options to customize your reports including:

  • Include a column that isn’t present or exclude a column that isn’t needed
  • Change the order that columns are displayed
  • Move a column to a prompt so that you can further filter the results
  • Move a column outside of the table to create sections for your report

The Customize Reports chapter of the Cal Answers Basic Navigation self-study course includes detailed descriptions and instructions on ways you can customize your reports. The Work Efficiently chapter describes how you can save the customizations you made to filters and report output so that you can apply them again and again.
