This article will run through the Reports function in Holiday Planner, for those who have been granted permission to do so.
Introduction
As outlined in this article, when setting up Holiday planner, you can specify the following roles within a holiday group:
- Manager - A Holiday Group Manager can view the team's holiday and approve/reject their holiday. This user also receives notifications when a member is requesting a holiday.
- Substitute Manager - A Substitute Manager has the same rights as Manager but will only receive notifications when a Manager is booked off.
- Permission to run Report - Users with permission to run Holiday Planner Reports for the group specified, you can select multiple users who can run a report.
- Holiday group members - users who belong to the same holiday group member can see each other holiday according to My team definition.
Those with Permission to run reports can do so for all staff Users within that specific Holiday Group.
Accessing the Reports Homepage
To access the Holiday Planner reports homepage, Users will need to navigate to Holiday Planner > 3 Dots in the Right Hand Corner > Reports.
Users will then be taken to the Reports Homepage screen. Here Users will find 4 different options:
- Users day-type report: Allows you to see all day-types for Users within a Group. For example, how many holiday, sickness days, workdays they have taken. Please note that this will vary from company-to-company, depending on the different day-types set up when Holiday Planner was initially configured. In addition, for this specific report, the default date range will automatically set itself to 12 months from the date of the report being run.
- Users holiday report: Allows you to view all the Holiday days per User, including their quota and the remaining amount for the Calendar year, and the days which may have been expired/carried over.
- Holiday reports by days: Allows you to select all or a specific day-type, and then to select all or any amount of Groups. It will then show you how many days have been taken. This will not seperate out by User, but show the Group total Holidays, Sick days etc.
- Holiday reports by groups: Allows you to view how many days have been taken by a specific Work Group in total. If you select multiple departments/Work Groups, it will separate out below by department/Work Group rather than Users e.g. Marketing, Finance, Sales.
Running a Report
To run a report, Users will need click on the type of report they wish to run. The format is largely similar for each report listed above. Below is an example of running a User day-types report. To do so, they will need to:
- Adjust the date range to reflect the designed holiday calendar. Please note: By default, on the User day-types report, this runs exactly 12 months from the day on which the report is conducted. Users will need to change this manually to ensure it reflects the Holiday calendar date range
- Select the Group type which includes all the members of that specific Group - i.e. Marketing
- Select the day-types they wish to view - i.e. Sickness Day, Holiday. These will be different depending on how your Holiday Planner calendar is set up
- Select View
- All Users will then appear below. Users will then be able to export the file into a CSV should they wish to
