Change Event Log Availability in ESR BI
The Change Event Log report in Discoverer has always been a very popular report, allowing organisations to audit the changes made and is central to the best practice approach to reviewing changes to employees throughout the organisation. As part of the reporting strategy, ESR Release 33 included a number of changes to allow the data captured by the change event log to be reported using ESR BI. Building on the reporting format from Discoverer the BI version has the following benefits:
- Over 1,000 data items are tracked in the BI version compared to around 200 in Discoverer, including tracking a number of items made in Learning Administration;
- Changes made by Proxy Users can be audited;
- Report runtime is significantly reduced (although changes cannot be reported until the following day);
- A large number of supporting data items, including employee attributes and assignment attributes are available to give great flexibility in local ad-hoc reporting.
The changes introduced help organisations more easily report on changes made to all employees but also enable more analytical reporting over time, including identifying Self-Service utilisation.
Changes made by ESR Self Service
Understanding not only ‘what’ changes are being made but ‘how’ is an additional benefit of reporting on change using ESR BI. The ‘Self Service Analysis’ tab has been introduced enabling organisations to view the percentage of changes made via ESR Self Service, compared to those changes that could have been made via ESR Self Service. This allows organisations to measure and prove the benefits and efficiencies of using ESR Self Service. A monthly view is also provided to measure improvement over time:
