What's new
Enhancement to Custom Reporting module
We’ve introduced new settings and additional fields to the Custom Reporting module to provide more control over data retrieval and improve reporting capabilities.
New Data Retrieval settings
Administrators can now configure how much historical data is retrieved within Custom Reporting, improving performance and ensuring only necessary data is loaded.
How it works
Navigate to Global Settings - Custom Reporting to access the following settings:
Custom Reports - Absence Dataset - Absence End Date Limit: Sets the number of days in the past for retrieving absences based on their end date within the Absence dataset. Default is 730 days (2 years). Increasing this value may increase data refresh times.
Custom Reports - Employee Dataset - Employee Termination Date Limit: Sets the number of days in the past for retrieving terminated employees based on their termination date within the Employee dataset. Default is 730 days (2 years). Increasing this value may increase data refresh times.
Benefits
Improves system performance by limiting the amount of data retrieved.
Allows organisations to tailor data retrieval to their specific reporting needs.
Additional fields in existing datasets
We have expanded the data available in Custom Reporting by adding new fields to existing datasets:
Employee dataset
Contact Details: Personal Mobile, Home Telephone, Personal Email, Current Address, Postcode.
Emergency Contact: Forename, Surname, Telephone, Mobile, Relationship, Contact Email.
Work Contact: Work Mobile, Work Telephone, Extension, Workspace Email, Work Address, Work Postcode.
Leave & Absence dataset
Employee Contract Data: Trigger Level, Leave Approver, Absence Approver.
📌 Note: Existing reports will not automatically include these new fields. Administrators must manually add them by editing existing reports or duplicating Access-provided reports.
Benefits
Provides more comprehensive employee data within reports.
Enables better tracking and reporting of employee contact and contract information.
