Report type

The report type determines the data that is available when you build the report. You must select a report type when you create an HR Writer report. The following report types are available:

  • Employee

  • History

  • Applicant

You must associate each HR Writer with a single report type. Applicant data is only available if the Personnel Administration application is installed.

Example

Mary Johnson decides to create a report listing direct deposit information for current employees. She uses HR Writer instead of the available standard listing so that she can include only the columns of data she needs. Because she needs current employee data, she selects the Employee Report Type.

John Smith wants to create a report review the year-to-date bonus payments for a specific employee group. Because he needs historical payment records, he selects the History Report Type.

Sue Stewart wants to fill an opening, so she wants to create a report to see references for applicants with a certain rating and status combination. Because she wants to see applicant data, she selects the Applicant Report Type.
