You can:

  • define the placeholder fields in your Acendre Analytics custom view 1.0 Jobs, Applications and Assessment

  • add the metrics and calculated fields that you are likely to use in multiple reports

  • add calculated filters and filter groups for filters you repeatedly configure or use

  • split the answers from a multi-select question to a seperate value per selected answer (per job or application).

Doing this these will give you a consistent approach to your reporting and ensure a single source of truth for how these metrics and fields are defined.

note

, or make it much easier to report on the data you are after.

You’ll need to provide clear definitions for all placeholder and additional fields

and metrics. Examples include

, metrics and calculated filters, including:

  • Time to Fill Start

Date: when Requisition Process Step Name = “Requisition Approved” is started.
  • Female candidates: any candidate that answered custom global question APP: Gender = Female (application context)

  • Application Count - Shortlist: any candidate that reaches Assessment Step Name = Shortlist, Assessment Step Status = Not Started
    • and End Dates

    • Gender and diversity group counts

    • Candidates by assessment stage counts

    • Any other requirements

    Info

    Complete the Requirements Template available on the Analytics Solutions page.

    Note

    Did you know: there are a whole range of advanced fields in the system views. If you need to use any of these regularly, you might consider having them added to your custom view 1.0

    If, for example, you need to see each time a candidate starts a step after being rolled back, you’ll need the Assessment Step - Execution Started field from the SYS 1.3 view.

    Placeholder Fields

    The following fields placeholders are built into your view 1.0 to capture the fields metrics that you’ll most likely need in your reports. For detailed instructions and tips for exploring your data to define them, see Defining Your Placeholder Fields.

    Calculated Filters

    Calculated filters allow you to quickly include/exclude certain results, like excluding test jobs, isolating or excluding your graduate programs, or eliminating any jobs archived more than a year ago.

    Filter Type

    Filter Description

    Example Filter(s)

    Image Added

    Set Filter

    Set filters automatically limit the results of the report - no further selections are required. Suggested uses might be exclude test jobs or any process that isn’t recruitment, or to only show special processes. You will need to provide the logic that identifies each of these (eg Job Type = graduate, Job Name starts with xxTest).

    Omits Test Jobs e.g. Job Reference starts with ZZ_Test

    Option Filter

    Option filters allow you to make a choice but with the logic pre-configured. Suggested uses might be to exclude graduate programs OR only show graduate programs; only show internal jobs OR only show external jobs. You will need to provide the logic that differentiates your desired options.

    Only show graduate jobs or exclude graduate jobs (Job Reference starts with /does not start with GRD)

    Filter Group

    Filter groups allow you to combine a group of filters that you commonly use together, including their AND/OR relationships and other settings. It allows you to quickly add the whole filter group to your report without any further configuration BUT it also means you cannot modify any of those filter settings, like the name, whether the values are cached, or how the filters are organised.

    Job Reference, Job Name, Group, Level and Open Date.

    Multi Select Extractions / Field Combinations

    About Multi Select Extractions

    Original Multi Select Format

    Extracted/Split Multi Select Format

    We now have a solution that enables us to separate multiselect answers into different rows. This is made possible by isolating each specific answers from within the combined multi-select block - e.g. so that a candidate’s answer of “alpha,bravo,charlie” as it appears against the multi select question can be separate into three rows of “alpha”, “bravo” and “charlie”. This then allows easier searching and filtering of multi-select responses.

    Original Fields

    Combined Field

    Different fields for a particular item (ie a job or application) can be combined into a single field to make filtering easier and condense them into a single column.

    APP: ATSI = Yes

    Diversity (Combined):

    ATSI

    Disability

    Current Employee

    APP: Disability = Yes

    APP: Current Employee = Yes
