When creating or editing a report in Humaans, you can use filters to narrow down which employees are included in the export. This guide explains the available filters and how to use them.
Adding a filter
Filters are located in the Filters section of the Export data window:
Click the filter area (shown as pill-shaped buttons).
Select a filter field from the dropdown menu.
Choose an operator (e.g. is, is not).
Select one or more values to filter by.
You can add multiple filters to further refine your results. All filters are applied together (AND logic).
Available filter fields
The following fields are available for filtering:
Filter | Description |
Space | Filter by the space an employee belongs to (available when Spaces feature is enabled) |
Department | Filter by department |
Teams | Filter by team membership |
Place of work | Filter by the employee's assigned work location (including Remote) |
Place of work country | Filter by the country of the employee's work location |
Place of work city | Filter by the city of the employee's work location |
Contract type | Filter by contract type (e.g. Full-time, Part-time, Contractor) |
Payroll provider | Filter by assigned payroll provider |
Org level | Filter by organisational level |
Manager (reporting to) | Filter by direct manager |
Reports up to | Filter by reporting chain — include everyone who reports up to a specific person |
Filter operators
Each filter supports different operators depending on the field type:
is — Matches employees where the field equals one of the selected values
is not — Excludes employees where the field equals any of the selected values
exists — Includes employees where the field has any value set
does not exist — Includes employees where the field is empty or not set
The Teams and Reports up to filters use array operators (includes any of, does not include) instead of the standard is/is not operators.
Combining filters
You can add as many filters as needed. When multiple filters are applied, they work together — an employee must match all filters to be included in the report.
For example, if you filter by Department is Engineering and Contract type is Full-time, the report will only include full-time employees in the Engineering department.
Removing a filter
To remove a filter, click the X button on the filter pill. The report will update to include all employees that match the remaining filters.
Filter permissions
The filters available to you depend on your role and permissions. If you do not have permission to view a particular field (e.g. payroll provider), that filter option will not appear.
If a saved report uses a filter that you no longer have permission to access, you will see a warning message. You can either ask an Owner to update your permissions or remove the affected filter.
