Add & Manage Reporting Users for an Event | Point-In-Time & Lifecycle

As the need arises, you can add new Reporting users to your event, specify their demographic access, and edit, clone, or delete Reporting users for your event. 

If you are a Platform Administrator, you can add Reporting users to the platform and then give them access to specific listening events. For more information, see the Manage User Roles and Access (Platform Admins Only) | Point-In-Time & Lifecycle article.

This article walks through:

• Add/Edit Reporting Users for a Specific Event
• Manage Reporting Users for a Specific Event

Add/Edit Reporting Users for a Specific Event

If you are an Admin or Creator, you can easily add Reporting users to specific events. If Manager Hierarchy is enabled for your organization, you can use the Manager Hierarchy feature to add multiple Reporting users simultaneously.

You can also edit demographic access rights for individual reporting users.

When you add a Reporting user to an event, the new user has access to view all the results within that event. To restrict or limit which data the user can view, see the Specify Demographic Subsets for a Reporting User topic below. You can add the user while creating the event, but cannot specify the demographic subsets until after the event is active.

Note: If you add Reporting users during event launch, they will be able to access results in real time, as soon as they receive their access email. If you don’t want Reporting users to access results until they are final, add them after the event has closed.

1. Navigate to the Listen page.

Click Manage Event for the event you want to add the user to.

2. The Event Builder opens.

3. Click Event Options, then select Add/Edit Users.

The User Management dialog box for the listening event appears.

4. Click +Add New User (top right).

The dialog box displays the Personal Data tab and fields for adding a new user.

5. Enter the information for each required field (Username, First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Employee ID).

6. Display the Role dropdown, then select Reporting - Access to Reporting Only.

7. Ensure the Enable Account checkbox is selected, then click Save.

The new user is added to the event.

8. Click Close to return to the Event Builder.

Specify Demographic Subsets for a Reporting User

For Reporting users, you can specify which subset of survey data they can see based on a demographic. For example, if the Country demographic is included in the event reporting, you can specify which countries the user can view results for.

Note: The event must be active before you can specify demographic subsets for a reporting user.

1. Navigate to the Listen page.

Click Manage Event for the event you added the reporting user to.

The Event Builder opens.

2. Click Event Options, then select Add/Edit Users.

The User Management dialog box for the listening event appears.

3. Use the Search box to search for the user by username, email address, or employee ID.

4. Display the Actions dropdown for the user, then select Edit User.

Note: You may need to scroll to the left to see the Actions dropdown.

The dialog box updates to display the user’s personal data and also displays a Demographic Access tab.

5. Click the Demographic Access tab to display demographic access options for the selected user.

Use this tab to choose demographics and associated options from your data file. You can choose multiple demographics. You can also optionally specify a view name to describe the assigned demographic access.

6. Display the Choose a Demographic dropdown, then select a demographic.

7. Display the Demographic Options dropdown, then click to select the checkbox for each option (subset) you want to give access to.

8. Click outside the list to close it.

The chosen demographic and options display in the table below the dropdowns.

9. Repeat the process to add all the demographics and options you want to make available to the user.

10. If you want to provide a view name, type it in the View Name box.

Note: If you change your mind about a choice, you can click the x icon to its right to delete it.

11. Click Save to save your selections.

12. If necessary, add demographic access for additional Reporting users.

13. Click Close to close the User Management dialog box.

Use Manager Hierarchy to Grant Reporting Access 

Manager Hierarchy is a feature that, among other things, enables Admin and Creator users to include the organizational hierarchy during the survey setup process and use it to give reporting access to individual users or to large segments of the hierarchy all at once.

Note: This option is available only to customers on the Perceptyx Platform that have an automated data feed aligned to Perceptyx data specifications. The Manager Hierarchy feature needs to be enabled by the Perceptyx team. The process may take up to 3 business days, and must be completed before event creation.

You use the Snapshot screen to edit reporting access using Manager Hierarchy. The Snapshot screen has two views: List View and Hierarchy View. Both views provide access to the same information, just in different ways. You can toggle back and forth between the views and use whichever one you prefer.

Grant Reporting Access

Using List View:

1. Navigate to the Listen page.

2. Click Manage Event for the event you want to work with.

3. Click Event Options (top right), then select Edit Reporting Access.

The Snapshot screen displays in List View.

4. Use the search or filtering options to display the employee(s) you want to work with:

   1. Search: 
      Type a name, email address, or employee ID in the Search box, then click Search.

   2. Select Threshold Met: 
      Click this option to display only the employees whose results meet the minimum threshold for the number of responses. If you choose to grant reporting access during the active survey window to help monitor response rates and encourage participation, it may be premature to use this filtering option.

   3. Select Managers: 
      Click this option to display only the employees who are managers.

5. Display the access options for the employee(s):

   1. For an individual employee: 
      Click Edit Access to the right of the employee’s information.

   2. For multiple employees: 
      Select the checkbox for each employee, then click Edit Access (top right).

   3. For all employees displayed on the screen: 
      Select the checkbox in the header row of the table. Note that if your employee list spans more than one screen, only the employees you see on the first screen are selected.

   4. For all employees in the list or filtered results: 
      Select the checkbox in the header row of the table, then click Select all xxxx employees for this table to select every employee in the list or, if applicable, your filtered results.

The access options display in the Edit Access for User dialog box.

6. Select the Enable access to the reporting site checkbox to enable reporting access.

7. Select the corresponding checkbox(es) to allow access to demographic data or comment reporting (or both).

8. Click Accept.

The Snapshot screen refreshes, and the record(s) for the selected employee(s) display an active (green) reporting status and active icons for the type(s) of access granted (demographic data and/or comment reporting).

Note: When you click Accept, the platform immediately adds a card for the listening event to each selected user’s Analyze page. The card displays the response rate for each manager’s team, helping them identify whether they need to encourage more participation. Managers can only see the results once their team's participation meets the minimum response threshold.

Using Hierarchy View:

With Hierarchy View, you can grant reporting access to one employee at a time.

1. In the Snapshot screen, click Hierarchy View (top right).

The screen displays in Tree View.

2. Click through the hierarchy tree to display the employee(s) you want to work with:

   1. Click a CEO branch to start expanding the tree view.

   2. Click additional branches to navigate to the employee you want to work with.

3. Click Edit Access to the right of the employee’s information.

The access options display in the Edit Access for User dialog box.

4. Select the Enable access to the reporting site checkbox to enable reporting access.

5. Allow access to demographic data or comment reporting (or both) by selecting the corresponding checkbox(es).

6. Click Accept.

The Snapshot screen refreshes, and the information for the selected employee displays an active (green) reporting status and active icons for the type(s) of access granted (demographic data and/or comment reporting).
