Basic Construction

Dates and Days Included

The report lists each job where the Time to Fill End Date occurred in the last 12 months (by default). It will show:

  • The defined Time to Fill Start/End and days between

  • Request Submitted/Completed and days between

  • Job Creation Started/Completed and days between

  • Job Open/ Close and days between (or days to now if no close date)

  • Job Archive Date

Calculating Days Between

  • The Time to Fill (Days) calculation is done in the view configuration by Acendre based on the default definition or your updated definition.

  • The other day calculations are achieved by applying an advanced function against a duplicate of the later date column for the time period measured (eg Request Completed).

Customisation

How you might customise your Time to Fill Report depends completely upon your requirements. It might be as simple as adding some key custom fields for each job or for filtering. Or it could be a really advanced rebuild using very specific timestamps and stages to reflect your processes.

Custom Fields

Custom Dates and Days Between

You can modify your report by adding relevant fields from your custom GQ folders as filters and/or fields.

Custom Dates and Days Between

You can add other dates and measure the days between, however this can require some advanced configuration. Here are some key steps to follow.

  • Your END date must be defined first and added to this initial report twice. You may need to add additional filters isolate a specific event - eg the Process Step Start Time (your END date field) for a specific Process Step Name (your filter and relevant value).

  • If your start date also needs filters to isolate, you might need to configure this in a sub-query (see this page for detailed instructions). You will need to:

    • add JobID as a column and hide it

    • add a sub-query > append > basic and join it by the JobID field to the same field in the sub-query

    • add your filter(s) to this sub-query and the relevant date field as your start date.

  • On your second END date column, apply an Advanced Function > as shown above, selecting your START date as the start date to measure from.

Optional Charts

You can modify the existing charts or copy them by clicking the three vertical dots in the right corner of the chart thumbnail.
