Viewing Workforce Composition Insights

Administrators can use the Workforce Composition dashboard to evaluate employee counts within their organization. Based on user privileges and criteria, such as date range, departments, and full- or part-time status, administrators can analyze their employee workforce numbers, or a subset, that have been updated within the date range specified.

The Workforce Composition dashboard is built on the PeopleSoft Insights platform, which relies on an underlying analytics engine and search engine. Workforce Composition data that is visible on the dashboard comes from the Person Global Search index HC_HR_PERSON.

This topic provides an overview of how to set up the Insights Dashboard for Workforce Composition analytics and discusses the PeopleSoft Insights Dashboards for Workforce Composition.

Understanding PeopleSoft Insights

PeopleSoft Insights is an analytical engine that provides visual reports (visualizations) in the form of charts, tables, graphs and so on. The visualizations are based on queries that retrieve data from the PeopleSoft Search Framework.
