CIRS provides a large selection of reports that are pre-generated and ready for your use. Collectively, these reports are referred to as the compendium. The reports cover a wide range of personnel and payroll data and can be used by a wide variety of staff because no knowledge of FOCUS is required.
-
Each report is identified by a unique 3-character code, and is available for one or more cycles (reporting period).
-
Most reports are in a text format for printing, but some are in a tab-delimited format for downloading.
-
Reports in a text format will have a specification sheet (first page) that provides information such as the purpose of the report, the selection criteria used to generate the report, and if applicable, data definitions.
-
Access to compendium reports is determined by the CIRS Security Coordinator. For additional information refer to the topic: Security Restrictions.
-
The cost of using the compendium is minimal because the reports are generated by HR-ISA on a pre-determined basis.
-
The reports can be printed or downloaded ’as-is’ or can be edited similarly to editing batch reports or hold files.
-
The reports are generated from COBOL and MARKIV programming languages, so they cannot be used in FOCUS.
