An important part of reporting on your performance is the ability to compare and contrast data over various time periods. With Teamtailor's custom historic reports feature, you have the ability to create either blank or templated data tables and graphic charts, in order to report more effectively.

To create your first custom historic report, head over to the Analytics tab, then Custom reports, then select the "Historic report" option from the two available report types (for more information on Snapshot reports, please head here). Please note that this feature is only available for users with Company Admin or Recruitment Admin access.

Click Next, and then you will be presented with the option to either start from scratch with a Blank report or create a templated report that you can customize later. Your options will be as follows:

If you select one of the templated options, then you will immediately start seeing data tables and graphs based on your company's data, that will be relevant to the topic that you have selected. If you start from a Blank report, then the screen will be blank and you'll need to start creating your own tables or graphs.

For all options, as is standard across all of Teamtailor's analytics features, you are able to filter your data by categories such as jobs, job applications, and page visits, as well as amend the time period for the data that you want to display.

To create a new chart or table, click on the "Add chart" button in the centre of the page. You will then have one of the following 4 options:

When you select the Bar chart option, your first option will be to select the group of data that you would like to see on the Primary axis (by default, the x-axis). In practice, this means how you want to separate the data that you would like to present. For example, if you want to see the number of Hires by a time period, you would select Date, Week, Month, or Year, or you may wish to separate your data into other factors such as by Department or Location.

Once you have selected your Primary axis, you will then need to select the metric that you wish to measure. These options have been grouped into Job offers, Candidate source, User activity, Rejected, Nurture campaign, Time, Candidate activity, Jobs, and Audience. Note that there is also a search bar to find your required metric more quickly.

Once you have selected your first metric, a bar chart will be revealed, with data based on the filters and date range that you have selected at the top of the page. You will then have more options available to you:

Once completed, click Done, then your bar chart will be complete:

Line charts are used to compare various metrics over time. Therefore, the available options for your Primary axis will be Date, Week, Month, and Year.

Select your primary axis, then you'll be able to add one or more metrics to display on your line chart. As with the bar chart option, you are able to add a breakdown of the first metric that you have selected, as well as hide any time periods where there is no data to display.

When you're ready, click Done, and your line chart will be finalized.

When creating a pie chart, your first option will be to select the Metric that you would like to compare and break down. Like bar charts, these options have been grouped into Job offers, Candidate source, User activity, Rejected, Nurture campaign, Time, Candidate activity, Jobs, and Audience.

Next, choose your Breakdown. Note that not all breakdown options will be available for every metric. Once selected, your pie chart will be displayed. You then have 3 further options to decide the data density:

When you're ready, click "Done", and your pie chart will be displayed:

The data table option is the most similar to the Snapshot part of custom reporting, but allows for more flexibility and will include historic data (for example on deleted candidates that do not show as part of the snapshot). These tables show the data behind the various charts mentioned above.

Your first option will be to choose the first column of your data table. Think of this as your primary axis, where you are selecting how you would like to separate your data. This may be a time period, a setting related to jobs, or data related to the traffic on your page.

Once this option has been selected, you are then able to add further columns to your data table, which will relate to the metric that you have selected in your first column. Note that the options available to add are relative to the first column that you have selected, and therefore not all columns will be selectable for each first column. To add more columns, click the white "+" button at the top of the table.

If you need to edit any of the columns that you have selected, click the pencil icon that will appear on the top-right of that column.

When you open your Analytics page, you will see a list of the Analytics reports that you have previously created and saved. If you click on any of these reports, you will open them in "View mode".

While in View mode, you will be able to:

Our scheduling feature allows you to set up automatic emails delivered to you and/or other recipients. All selected recipients, both users and external, no matter their access roles will be able to view all the data contained in the report.
​
This will make sure the selection of people has the right information at the right time. Set up a schedule that suits your purpose – daily, weekly, monthly, or as needed, along with a chosen span of time:

*Note that private reports can only be scheduled for yourself

An email will be sent out to each recipient according to your setup. This email will contain a .pdf file available for download with the data.

By default, when you create a historic report, it will only be available for you to see and edit. If you check the "share with all admins" box, then all Admins on your account will be able to see your report.

On the right-hand side of each chart, you will see a bullet-point icon. If you click this, it will show you the data behind the chart that you are viewing.

Additionally, once you have opened the data table, you will see the Export icon, where you can download the table as a .csv file.

On View mode, you will have an "Edit report" button in the top-right hand side. As well as adding new charts/tables and editing existing charts/tables, you will be able to:

As the image below shows, you will be able to either move the chart/table up or down the page or delete it.

This will be possible at the top of the page.

Please note that not all data points are currently available via the historic reporting function. Teamtailor is committed to improving the number of data options that are available to our users, and your feedback is welcome via our support team or your dedicated CSM.

Additionally, the visual charts cannot be exported via CSV file, only the data tables.
