Enable Employee Properties Data in Dashboards

The Configuration: Employee Properties screen in Dashboards Setup allows administrators to select which of the employees properties that are configured in HR Admin > Employee Properties can be added in Dashboards views. The selected employee properties are made available in the Employee data source, and they can be added to views in the same way that you add other fields.

When you use this feature to add or remove employee properties in Dashboards, the employee properties are added or removed from the Employee data source the next time the Dashboards Data Preparation background job runs. The In Datasource column shows the current status of the employee property as Available or Unavailable. In the screenshot below, the Custom Employee Rank and Entitlement Seniority Date properties have been added, but their status is still shown as Unavailable because the background job hasn’t run yet. After it runs, the In Datasource status changes to Available, and users can add the properties in Dashboards views.

The background job is normally scheduled by an administrator to run regularly, and you can also run it manually in System Admin > Background Jobs.

Any changes in the Aggregation column are effective upon saving.
