Point-in-Time Headcount Details Report
The Point-in-Time Headcount report enables administrators to retrieve and view employee records on any specified date. By default, all active employee records for the specified date are exported to a .csv file in comma delimited or pipe delimited format. Inactive employees may be included in the export if desired. The employee’s status is based on the selected date. This is the preferred report for historical and trend reporting.
The output of the Point-In-Time Headcount report is limited to filtering by active status and is unconstrained. Filtering and analysis are meant to take place in the application where you downloaded the data.
The Point-In-Time Headcount report is built around effective dated fields. It returns all effective dated standard fields and all custom fields except Secure & Encrypted. The report also includes the most used non-effective dated fields. Click here to view a list of the effective and non-effective fields in the headcount report.
