How do I create an absence analysis extract/definition?

How do I create an absence analysis definition?

1. Navigate to the Absence Analysis Definitions window.
   Go to Cintra iQ> Tools> Absence Reporting> Absence Analysis
   
2. Click the New button. The Absence Analysis Extract Definitions window appears.
   
3. Enter the title of the Definition in the Dimensions tab.
4. Select a Dimension.
   

     Note:

   A Dimension is a Cintra iQ field that you want to group your analysis by (e.g. Organisation Unit.)

5. Define the Time Periods.
   

     Note:

   You can define any period or periods of time you need.

   1. Right-click New in the Time Periods tab. The Absence Analysis - Time Period form appears.
   2. Enter a Description.
   3. Enter a From date.
   4. Enter a To date. 
   5. Click the OK button.

    

6. Select Exclusions.
   

     Note:

   You may want to exclude certain types of absence from your analysis extract. In addition, this dialog allows you to specify if you want Employer's NI and/or Pension contributions included in Cost Calculations.

   
7. Select Record Filters.
   

     Note:

   Extracts don't obey Navigator filters, so if you want the extract to be filtered to a certain set of employees, you must specify filters here.

   
8. Select Dimension Data Filters. 
   

     Note:

   When gathering data for the specified dimension(s) of your definition, it may be that you need to filter the gathered data. For example, you may have specified Job Category as a dimension, and you only want to gather this data for the employee’s main post and not any additional posts that they may hold.

   
9. Click OK to save the definition.
