Importing historical data
You can upload historical data for current and terminated employees, including changes to departments, compensations, and titles. You can view historical data from both the History page as well as in any other place in ChartHop that uses the date slider tool, such as the Org Chart and the Data Sheet.
Types of historical employee data that can be tracked:
- Terminated employees
- Compensation changes
- Manager changes
- Department changes
- Title changes
To upload multiple historical data categories at once for one or more employee(s), when uploading your spreadsheet, you must give each category its own tab.
When you import historical data to ChartHop, depending on the category above, it will only accept the import if the data is provided using the correct column headers. You can use the examples below to learn about the required column headers for each category.
The following section below provides templates you can use to upload historical data for employees in your ChartHop organization. Events that occur on unique dates should be reflected on new lines.
You can upload historical data for terminated employees. To do so, you will need to add the employee's employment information including:
- Full name
- First manager during their hire date (start date)
- Any manager and title changes during their tenure in the organization
- The end date of their employment
