Section overview:
You can find the passthrough table in the report template library. All passthrough tables are made by making an initial selection of applications and optionally filtering that selection down further and grouping by one or more fields of interest. The following sections outline each step in creating a passthrough table, along with the many options for investigating details and common questions that come up.
Every passthrough report begins with an initial selection of applications. This is done by a flexible time range selection, where you can select all applications that had recent activity, ended their consideration, or started in a specific time period. The applications that match this initial selection represent the cohort of applications that are then summarized by their progress through the interview pipeline in the passthrough table itself.
In this example, the passthrough report will include applications with interviews starting in the last 6 months.
Some common fields used for an initial selection are shown below, but this initial selection permits using any time-related field and is highly customizable:
Started At
- selects all applications that started (applied or user added them to Ashby) in a specific time periodConsideration Ended At
- selects all applications that exited your process (archived or hired) in a specific time periodStart Time
- selects all applications with an interview that started in the specific time periodYour initial selection of applications might require some additional refinement. You can use the filters section to add additional conditions, such as selecting for applications in a specific department, belonging to a specific recruiter or hiring manager, and so on.
The advanced filter interface allows filtering by any combination of fields to further select applications of interest for your passthrough report.
With an initial selection made and optional filtering added, your passthrough table will generate a result based on your interview plan. You will see a single row summarizing the progress across all applications that have exited consideration (i.e. are no longer active).
This is an example passthrough report with nothing selected in the Group By section.
It is often of interest to see the total passthrough report broken down by segments, such as source type, department, or recruiter.
