Export balanceTRAK Data to Excel

Job Seeker and Requisition data can be saved to Excel for use outside of balanceTRAK, such as for inclusion in a federally required Affirmative Action plan (AAP) or for data research and follow-up. This feature is available under Reports in the side navigation menu, by choosing Export.

To ensure you obtain the needed data and improve processing time, the system provides menus for honing on data by module (Job Seekers or Requisitions), Location Code (if applicable), Requisition Category, Fields, Date Range, and the like.

For those who would like to run regular data exports by Date Range (e.g., monthly) an Export view can be saved for reuse. The settings for a saved Export view can be adjusted as necessary (and saved). In addition, the system provides some typical Job Seeker exports as defaults, as described in this article, next.

What Default Exports are Available?

Default Export views are available on the Export > Job Seekers tab, with preselected Filters that produce the most typically needed Job Seeker "snapshots":

  • Job Seekers
  • AAP Import — Includes demographics and SELF-IDENTIFICATION for disability and Veteran statuses for inclusion in an Affirmative Action Plan.
  • The Date range must also be set to reflect the annual or interim AAP analysis period. See Set Job Seeker Date Parameters, above.

balanceAAP Help Cross-reference: The data set can then be imported into this companion application.

  • Hires — Job Seekers with a Disposition Code indicating "hired")
  • No Disposition Code
  • No Job Seeker Stage

Quick Tip: As described in this article, parameters for Application Date, Posting Start Date, and/or Posting End Date can be added to the Default Export to produce an Export for a particular time period.

Restore Defaults

To return to the Default Export parameters after Filters have been changed, choose the [Restore Defaults] button from the upper toolbar.

Prepare a Job Seeker Data Export

Review and select Location Codes.

Determine Job Seeker Filters for Data Export

Make selections from the provided menus (Filters and Fields) to hone in on particular Job Seeker data. The following options for Job Seeker Filters are available:

The following options appear for Job Seeker data Fields:

  • Personal Information
