Reporting

Please note that due to the transition from HRS to Workday, some reports references in the Tableau section of this webpage may be under development for a period of time in summer/fall 2025.

There are two primary campus tools used for HR data reporting at UW: Workday Reporting and Tableau.

Workday Reporting

Workday has thousands of standard and custom reports and dashboards. Reports are restricted by a combination of assigned security roles and areas of responsibility.

Tableau

Tableau is the primary tool for reports and visualizations using data from the Student Information System (SIS), Shared Financial System (SFS), and InfoAccess. UW-Madison is able to create its own dashboards in Tableau.

Tableau contains dashboards that include HR data along with data from other campus systems. For example:

Reports with NetID (coming from InfoAccess)
Example: Employee Job Detail
Reports with funding data (coming from Shared Financial System)
Example: Salary Funding
Reports with student data (coming from Student Information System)
Example: Current Funding for Graduate and Professional Students IDE
Reports with supervisor data
Example: Employee Supervisor Detail

Tableau also contains reports in the Employee Data area that provide both overviews and details of a variety of HR metrics. For example:

Employee Headcount Turnover
Example: Workforce Dynamics
Employee Compensation Information
Examples: Employee Base Compensation Rate Adjustments and Employee Lump Sums

Finding and Accessing Tableau Reports

The Repository for Administrative Data and Reports (RADAR) provides a way of searching available Tableau dashboards.

RADAR also shows the security authorization required for each Tableau dashboard in the Access Restrictions column. If you cannot access a dashboard that has security restrictions, select the “Request Access” link.

Note that UWBI access automatically provides access to Tableau security groups with similar sensitivity. The table below describes the mappings.
