The Add a Field Screen

While you're editing a report, you can open the Add a Field screen by clicking Fields > Add Field. The Add Field screen shows fields that you can add to your report's dataset, grouped into entities.

Role feature access: Reporting and Analytics > Reporting > Report Designer > Dataset Builder

You can click an entity in the list to view more information about it.

You can filter the list of entities using the following fields above the list:

  • Categories: Select one or more options to display entities from the selected Dayforce feature areas.
  • Keyword: Enter keywords to filter the entity names or field names.
  • Related Entity Filter: Select one of the entities that are already in your report's dataset. This filters the list to show entities that can be joined to the selected entity.
  • Relationship Levels: Select how many levels of relationships can be used to join the entities. For example, Employee > Employee Employment Status is a level 1 relationship and Employee > Employee Employment Status > Employment Status Reason is a level 2 relationship, and Employee > Employee Employment Status > Employment Status Reason > Employee Work Assignment is a level 3 relationship.
