Data guides
Namely: see how much data you have, then export it.
Pick a system to see two things: how to check how much data is in it, and how to export a copy. No form, no sign-in.
Namely
HR & payroll
How to see how much data is in Namely
- Sign in to Namely as an HR admin
- Open Reports and run a headcount report or the headcount dashboard for all time
- Include terminated employees
- Note the employee count and years of payroll history
Record headcount (current plus former) and years of payroll; Namely shows no storage figure.
How to get a copy of your Namely data
- Sign in as an admin
- Open Namely's reporting area
- Build or open a report with the fields you need
- Export or download it
- If you can't find an export option, contact Namely support
Admins can build and export reports with Namely's reporting tools. We couldn't confirm the exact menu path, so ask your Namely admin or Namely support.
Payroll and HR exports contain Social Security numbers and pay data that need review before sharing.
These instructions are written by DataFrenzy from each vendor’s public help pages. Menu names can vary by plan and change over time; the official link on each guide is the final word. Screenshots come from each vendor’s own help pages and videos or, where noted, from third-party tutorials credited under the image; dashed outlines are illustrations, not screenshots. Looking up a size or preparing an export never sends anything to DataFrenzy.
