USING THE DATA IN OTHER APPLICATIONS

The Hire Success System exports the data in what is commonly called "ASCII DELIMITED" Text files.  It is one of the oldest, and most common forms of data import and export.   Some examples of Applications that will easily import this data include Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access.  With data imported in other applications, you have the power and capabilities offered by these applications, such as sorting data, doing further analysis or even creating custom reports and comparisons.  The possibilities are endless.

STEPS FOR IMPORTING INTO MICROSOFT EXCEL:

Open Excel, then choose the "File" menu, then "Open".  In the "Files of Type" drop-down menu at the bottom of the Dialog, choose the "Text *.prn, *.txt, *.csv" option.  Navigate to where you saved the Data, select the Hire Success Output file, then click the "Open" button.

When you see the "Step 1" Wizard screen (like above, the "Delimited" buttons should be checked.  Leave it as-is and press the "Next" button.

Excel Wizard Step 2 of 3:

On the second screen, be sure and select the "Tab" AND "Comma" check boxes.  You will see a sample of the data in columns in the lower part of the Wizard screen which will confirm the data has been selected properly.  Press the "Next" button.

Excel Wizard step 3 of 3: 

The only thing to do on the Step 3 screen is press the "FINISH" button.

The Data will appear in the Spreadsheet so you can further analyze and manipulate the data.

You will notice that Hire Success creates the first row of data with the Field Names.  This is important when importing data into databases to match the Input Data with other fields that may already exist in the Application.  Some Contact Managers, like "Act", as well as Human Resource Database packages, etc., can match the Report Data with other Company data.  Ask your Database Administrator for more details.
