If you manage your company's orders and data, the Reports section lets you automate your exports. Create custom templates to generate ready-to-use files tailored to your internal tools.
What are my reports used for in payroll and budget management?
Custom reports meet several administrative needs:
- For payroll: automatically integrate your orders into your payroll software, such as Silae, Sage, ADP or PayFit, to deduct the employee's share of meal vouchers.
- For budget management: consolidate your data over any period you choose to analyse your costs by beneficiary, department or billing centre.
How do I set up my report templates?
To tailor your files to your needs, set up your templates in your Reports section:
- Step 1: Open the Reports menu (in the left-hand sidebar).
- Step 2: Click on Create a template.
- Step 3: Set up the report structure: name, CSV or Text format, grouping criteria, etc.
- Step 4: Select the data to include and define their format.
- Step 5: Choose how you want to retrieve the report: per order, on demand, or by automatic delivery.
If you already have an output file from your payroll software or internal tools, simply upload it into the tool. The artificial intelligence will automatically detect the file structure, including columns, formats and organisation. It will then suggest a data mapping, matching the file's data with those available in the tool. Confirm the matches to finalise your template.
How do I get my payroll export from an order?
Enable the Enable export per order button when creating or editing your template.
- After confirming the order: download your payroll export from the Your payroll export section.
- Later: open the Orders & invoices menu, select the relevant order, click on Download, then choose your report.
How do I get my report from the Reports section?
- Step 1: Open the Reports menu.
- Step 2: Select your template, then click on Run.
- Step 3: Choose the desired period. If you manage several entities, also select the relevant ones.
- Step 4: Run the report, then download the file from the history.
How do I receive my reports by email?
You can receive your reports by email without logging in to your account.
-
Step 1: When creating or editing your template, enable the Schedule automatic run option then click Next.
- Step 2: Choose how often to send: monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly. Each email covers the previous closed period. For example, a monthly email covers the previous month.
- Step 3: Enter the date of the first run. This date will be used as a reference for all future emails.
- Step 4: Add up to 10 recipients. Recipients can be Swile administrators or not, such as your accountant or payroll provider.
All reports sent remain available in the history of your Reports section.
How do I organise my report templates?
You can create as many templates as you need: one for payroll, one for your accountant, and one for the finance team, for example.
For your budget tracking, schedule a monthly email directly to your accountant. That way, you won't have to think about it anymore.
What should I do if I change payroll software for my reports?
If you change payroll software, simply update your existing report template. The update is instant.
