About Viewing AAP Reports

Once an Affirmative Action plan is completed, the plan preparer will share the plan's results, or Reports, with other balanceAAP users. Displayed on the Reports > AAP Reports tab, the directory to these plan results is comprised of the following items:

  • Primary, or federally required, reports
  • Secondary reports in support of the primary findings
  • Any specific Plan or Company Documents that may be stored in the system

AAP Reports are organized by Report Group, or topic (e.g., Narratives, Availability). And, based on report content, user-defined settings may be applied to customize a report, both globally and by Report Group . Keep in mind the Reports list will vary, based on plan type (e.g., Annual, Update), plan year, and organization-specific settings or naming conventions.

For additional flexibility in outputting Reports, user-defined settings may be applied to customize a report, both globally and by Report Group, as appropriate for the analysis or content.
