Reports - a guide to reporting in Appraisd

 

What is this feature?

Administrators can save any list of data as a report in Appraisd which is then published on the Reports tab of the administration centre, from which you can quickly access useful related metrics reports of the data.

Other admins can see the list of saved reports and use them, plus the linked metrics reports, filtered to show only the data they have access to based on their administration permissions.

You can also make use of the related report quick links to easily see metrics related to any of your saved reports:

How to save a report

In all of the list reports in the admin centre (People, Reviews, Scores and comments, Objectives) you'll now see a 'Save report...' button. Once you have applied a filter that shows the information you'd like to save as a report click on the 'Save report...' button

Give the report a Title and we recommend providing a Description to help other administrators know what the report shows and the purpose of it. Press on 'Save as new' to save the report

Saving a report saves the following:

• Any filters applied
• Which columns are showing
• The column order
• Any sorting applied to the table

Once saved, the report will show in the relevant section of the Saved reports page in the admin centre

Managing your saved reports

If you would like to adjust a saved report that you have created you can do so by opening the report, making the changes and then press on 'Save report...' button. You can then press save to save your changes.

Note that only the person who created the original report can save changes to it. If you are not the owner of the report, you will only be able to save your changes as a new report. 

Over time you may find that your older reports are not being used as frequently and you'd like to move them from the active reports page but keep them for reference in the future in case they're needed again. To do this you can archive off any reports by clicking on the three-dot menu on the report and select archive.

Once a report is archived you can find the report in the Archived section of the saved reports page 

If needed, you can un-archive a report from this page using the three-dot menu.

Whilst your CSM will help you set up reports during your onboarding, and throughout your time as a client, you might be interested in some of the commonly useful reports you can create yourselves at any time:

Help with day-to-day administration

• List of external feedback givers
• List of deactivated users in case you need to reactivate them or permanently delete them
• List of people who haven't logged in for 3 months
• List of administrators on your account so you can ensure everyone has the right level of access

Help with supporting employee objectives and development

• List of objectives or personal development activities that were added in the past month
• List of objectives that mention a specific project name
• List of personal development activities that request a specific course eg PowerBI or perhaps people requesting mentoring
• List of employee's overall self-assessment on their Wellbeing check-ins
• List of Career Conversation check-ins in the past 3 months

Help with compensation and promotions

• List of overall ratings or calculated averages on the year-end reviews
• List of people ready for promotion now or in the next 6 months
• List of manager's bonus allocation ratings

Help with talent management

• List of people on probation
• List of employee's internal mobility preferences eg what other branches they'd like to work at
• List of people in a particular intake, combined with other filters to investigate their performance. For example you can save the filter "Fast-track joiners 2023" and then use this filter to find out their responses to the question "How was your onboarding process at ABC Ltd?"
• List people where the manager has said there's a high risk of leaving, or people with no obvious successor in a critical role
