How to download reports for the Individual Development Plan?

Profit.co lets HR Admins, HR Business Partners, employees, coaches, and mentors export Individual Development Plan data as a downloadable file for offline review and record-keeping.

What Is Individual Development Plan (IDP) Report Download?

IDP Report Download is the export function that turns Individual Development Plan data inside Profit.co into a file you can save outside the platform. It runs through an Export History panel rather than an immediate file save, and the scope of what's included depends on where you trigger it from.

Role Where They Download From What's Included
HR Admin / HR Business Partner Performance > HR Administration > Individual Development Plan tab All Individual Development Plans in their administrative scope
Individual User Performance > Individual Development Plan > My IDPs Only their own Individual Development Plan
Coach / Mentor My Employees' IDPs / Mentor IDPs Plans of the employees who report to them

Why Does Downloading IDP Reports Matter?

For HR Admins and HR Business Partners, this feature creates a portable copy of IDP data for reporting and audits outside Profit.co. Coaches and mentors get the same convenience for the employees who report to them, without opening each plan individually online.

How Do I Download Individual Development Plan Reports?

Download as HR Admin or HR Business Partner

Step 1

  • Navigate to Performance  HR Administration and switch to the Individual Development Plan tab.
  • Click the More icon and select Download.
  • Confirm the Info popup by clicking OK.

Note

You can now filter this same Individual Development Plan list using the new Filter option, so you can locate specific plans before exporting instead of scrolling the full list.

Download From the Export History Panel

  • In the Export History side panel, click the download icon to download the report.

Download as an Individual User

Step 1: Open My IDPs

  • Navigate to Performance > Individual Development Plan > My IDPs.
  • Click the More icon and select Download.
  • Confirm the Info popup by clicking OK.

Coaches and mentors follow the same two steps from My Employees' IDPs and Mentor IDPs respectively.

What Happens When You Download Individual Development Plan Reports?

Scenario What Happens
You apply a filter to the IDP list in HR Administration. Profit.co narrows the visible list to plans matching your filter criteria, and the underlying plan records stay unchanged.
You click Download from a filtered IDP list. Profit.co asks you to choose Current Filtered View or All View, and generates the report based on your choice.
You close the Info popup without clicking OK. Profit.co cancels the export, and no file is added to the Export History panel.
You download a report as an Individual User from My IDPs. Profit.co exports only your own Individual Development Plan, and no other employee's plan appears in the file.
You return to the Export History panel after the export completes. Profit.co keeps the generated file listed there, and you can download it again without regenerating the report.

What Are the Best Practices for Downloading Individual Development Plan Reports?

  • Narrow the IDP list with Filter before exporting from HR Administration, so a large employee base doesn't force you to scroll for the plans you need.
  • Pick Current Filtered View when exporting a subset for a specific team or status, and All View only when you need the complete organization-wide file.
  • Check the Export History panel for an existing file before regenerating one, since completed exports stay listed there for reuse.
  • Use the My IDPs, My Employees' IDPs, or Mentor IDPs tab that matches your role, since each one scopes the download to only the plans you're meant to see.
  • Complete the Info popup confirmation in one sitting rather than switching tabs mid-export, so the download isn't left unconfirmed.
