Report Manager

Report Manager provides a reporting services solution to our existing customer base. Customers have been asking us to give them the ability to customize reports for themselves. Report Manager offers the ability for customer to create customized report layouts for our reports. It also allows them other features such as scheduling and email delivery options. The customer selects the desired report when needed and can conveniently view and print the report. Reports Manager gives you the confidence of “never forgetting” to run reports and the convenience and time savings of running multiple reports and distributing to multiple groups automatically.

Report Manager is a ‘premium’ service that allows users to:

  • Customize Reporting – users will be able to specify what columns or rows they would like to see on a report, have the ability to hide a given sheet in the spreadsheet, change the page orientation, or change the margins. They can have as many versions of the same report as is needed.
  • Report Scheduling – users will be able to define when they want the report. Reports that are run regularly can be scheduled to run and will be available for viewing without any intervention. Reports may be run daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually or on a specific day. In addition, reports that are processor intensive can be scheduled off-hours and will be ready on the next business day.
  • Email Delivery of Reports – users can request any report to be emailed to an individual or to a group of individuals. A link to the report will appear in the e-mailbox immediately after it has been run. The customer can click the link to view the report. If user is not already logged in, they will be asked to enter their user ID and password; the report will then be displayed.
