In System Settings, an Administrator can configure the 9 Box to track progress and growth using appraisal score data or manual score data. To select the sort order and modify the grid view, use the Filter. To print this screen, click the Print icon above the grid.

Field Description
Filter

Options in this area include Search Date, Sort, Filter By, which allows you to view not only Direct Reports, but also 2nd Level Reports (the direct reports of your employees), 3rd Level Reports (the direct reports of the employees who report to your direct reports), and a Cumulative view, which shows employees at all levels when the 2nd or 3rd level is selected.

You can also filter by Attrition, which allows you to determine whether employees lost to attrition for various reasons (voluntary, involuntary, or both) were high performers.
