Build a custom fields report on the HR platform

Available for the following plans: Employment Plus, Employment Unlimited
Available for the following HR plans: Premium, Platinum
Available for the following user access level: Admin   

The outcome of this project is that you will have created a custom fields report. Before being able to use the Custom Reports feature, you will need to activate Two-Factor Authentication. To read details on how to activate Two-Factor Authentication, refer to the following article.

You can use the Custom Report feature to build a report based on the additional information entered by your employees during their onboarding workflow or updated in their employee file.

Important

Only employees can complete a custom field, not contractors, so when building this report, contractors will show a blank field next to the custom field name.
