Empuls supports data export in CSV, Excel, and JSON formats, allowing HR and People teams to integrate recognition and rewards data directly into external BI tools including Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, and Microsoft Excel.
Xoxoday Empuls makes it straightforward for HR and People teams to move recognition and rewards data into the analytics tools their organization already uses. Empuls exports data in three universally accepted formats — CSV, Excel, and JSON — with no dependency on custom connectors or middleware.

​
Connecting Empuls Data to Your BI Stack

Once data is exported from Empuls, it loads directly into tools like Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, or Microsoft Excel. Tableau users can import a CSV or Excel file as a data source and build dashboards tracking recognition frequency, award distribution, point redemption trends, and participation rates across departments. Power BI users follow an equally simple process — the exported file maps cleanly to Power BI’s data model, enabling slicers, drill-downs, and scheduled reports that surface engagement insights without manual data wrangling.

​
A Practical Example: Quarterly Engagement Reporting

Consider a People Analytics team preparing a quarterly engagement report for senior leadership. They export recognition data from Empuls in CSV format, load it into Power BI alongside HRIS data from Workday or SAP SuccessFactors, and build a combined dashboard correlating recognition activity with retention and performance metrics. The same workflow applies to organizations running Darwinbox, where HR teams merge Empuls data with attendance and appraisal records for a unified workforce view.

​
Why Format Choice Matters

CSV is the most portable format and the default choice for most BI imports. Excel exports retain formatting and suit stakeholders who prefer working directly in spreadsheets without a dedicated BI tool. JSON is best suited for engineering and data science teams building automated pipelines — for example, ingesting Empuls recognition events into a data warehouse and triggering alerts via Slack or Microsoft Teams when engagement milestones are reached.

​
Data Integrity and Security During Export

Empuls applies the same security standards to exported data that it maintains across the entire product. Xoxoday Empuls is SOC 2 Type II certified and compliant with ISO 27001, and role-based access permissions govern which administrators can initiate exports. Only authorized users with the appropriate admin role can access and download data, reducing the risk of unauthorized disclosure. This controlled export model gives organizations confidence that workforce data is handled consistently, whether it stays within Empuls or moves into Tableau dashboards and Excel reports shared in boardroom presentations.
