Exporting Applicant Data

There are a variety of situations where it is valuable to have a flat-file containing the information of one or more applications for use outside of AppliTrack. Some common examples are for use in creating mail-merges, printing address labels, and transferring data into other information systems.
AppliTrack makes it possible to use export applicant data in two simple ways:
  1. Through the use of the Download to Excel button which appears at the upper-right section of any list of applicants.
    Export to Excel

    Use of the Download to Excel button is described in "Printing Lists of Candidates"

  2. The Batch Action/Tool called Download applicant data also allows you the ability to export data in several fixed formats. These formats are described below.

Here's how:

Download Applicant Data1. Bring up some applications you wish to export. This can be a "find by last name" or a search from the "Find Applications' Tab.

2. You can export the entire list of applicants or just a select few by placing a check in the checkbox next to them. If no applicants are checked, then the entire list will be downloaded. Note: downloading more than 50 applicants at a time may take a greater amount of time.

3. Click on 'Download applicant data' link on left side.

4. A "Download Applicant Data" window will appear giving you different options for the format and applicant field set to be exported.

The default field sets are as follows. Contact our support group if you require an alternate field set to those provided.

5. From the dialog box that appears, select the option to Save the file.

6. In the Save File dialog box that appears, select a location on your machine or network to save the file, and give the file a name.

7. At this point, you may import the data into various payroll, financial, or analysis programs.
