In Handshake, we provide several core reporting options. This article will highlight each from a high level. Explore the links in each section to learn more!
Note: This article features content related to Analytics. Analytics will only be accessible until August.
Quick Downloads
For raw data, we recommend starting with quick downloads. Most pages on Handshake will have a Download button in the upper-right corner –– this will scope to any of the filters that you've applied on that page and generate a raw CSV download.
Analytics: Dashboards
This information pertains to Legacy Analytics.
Click Analytics from the left navigation bar in Handshake, then click the Dashboards tab to access Dashboards. These dashboards surface aggregate data and trends. A summary of the content provided is listed on each dashboard tile, right below the title.
To review more in-depth information on the dashboards available, navigate to the Dashboards section of the Help Center to browse, or start typing "Dashboard" in the Help Center search.
Pre-Built Reports
Note: you will need both Analytics: Access and Manage permissions in order to view and/or create reports. If you do not have these permissions, please reach out to your team's Handshake administrator to request access.
If you'd like to explore a more robust data set, you can click Insights or Analytics from the left navigation bar in Handshake, and browse pre-saved reports. All reports (created by our team or yours) will scope to your school's data in Handshake. If you're new to Handshake, new to using Insights or Analytics, or would like a refresher, we provide a thorough breakdown of our reporting tools in Analytics: The Art of Reporting.
In Insights, select Hub to locate the Handshake - Legacy Reports. These reports are split into 6 different folders covering different topics:
- Students
- Appointments & Career Services Activity
- Applications & Outcomes
- Employers & Jobs
- Event, Fair & Interview Engagement
- Collections & Community Features
In Analytics, click Handshake in the School filter to view a list of saved reports built by our team based on common needs.
Custom Reports
In Insights, you can click Explore in the upper-right corner of the page on an existing saved workbook, or you can select File -> Duplicate to make a copy of the workbook. Alternatively, you can create a report from scratch by making a custom report. You can learn more about creating a custom report in the following article: Insights: How to Create a Custom Report and Dashboard
In Analytics, if you'd like to customize your own report, you can do that via duplicating an existing saved report or by clicking Create Report in the upper-right corner of the page. Learn more about these features in the following articles: Analytics: Using Saved Reports & Analytics: Creating a New Custom Report
Additional Information
We've compiled lists of currently saved reports or commonly used reports and link them out in a series of Help Center articles, segmented by product area. These can be lifesavers - and a great starting point, even if you choose to add additional fields. To review these, navigate to the Reporting section of the Help Center, then select from the articles that start with "Pre-Built Reports:".
