As
businesses get larger and their data becomes more complex, a capable
reporting system is a fundamental requirement.
Within Info At
Hand the reports module
shows a list of available reports. You may click on the name of a report
to run that report, or to see the archived results of previous runs of
that report. Each report listed shows its name, the principal module on
which it reports, when it was last run, when it was last modified, and
if it is set to run manually, interactively or automatically on a timed
basis. Scheduled reports may be automatically emailed to a distribution
list. Just imagine - your business tells you how it is doing without
being asked!
A
number of predefined standard reports are included with the system, and
new report designs may be easily developed and saved for repeated use in
future. Try our online demo to see how easy it is to design your own
reports.
Reports can include multiple sort
keys, grouping, filters, and may relate data in multiple modules.
Acrobat PDF documents may be created from any report, and report data
may also be exported to several common file formats including CSV and
HTML.
Reports may also generate charts of
their data, and these charts may then be added to your Personal
Dashboard.
Graphical Dashboard Charts:
The
system provides graphical dashboards for Sales, Service, Financials, and
Projects. As well, a Personal Dashboard allows you to assemble and
re-order a list of your key charts, including charts created from your
own custom reports. When the
system is initially created, these dashboards include the following
charts:
Sales Dashboard:
Fiscal Year Booked Sales (Horizontal bar chart:
Shows the 12 months of the current fiscal year, and the value of
sales booked for each of those months.)
Weighted & Gross Opportunities by Month
(Horizontal bar chart: Shows, for the 12 month period starting last
month, the gross and weighted (by probability) value of the
opportunities for each month – the sales pipeline.)
Pipeline by Sales Stage (Horizontal stacked bar
chart: Shows the total value of potential sales at each stage of the
sales pipeline.)
All Opportunities by Lead Source by Outcome
(Horizontal stacked bar chart: Shows a stacked bar of the total
opportunities for each lead source. Each bar is made up of
multi-coloured segments which represent the outcome proportions for
that lead source.)
Pipeline by Month by Outcome (Vertical stacked
bar chart: Each bar shows the total sales pipeline for each month.
Each bar is made up of multi-coloured segments which represent the
outcome proportions for the pipeline in that month.)
All Opportunities by Lead
Source (Pie chart: Shows a simple pie visualization of the
proportion of total sales opportunities for each lead source.)
Service Dashboard:
Cases by Status by User (Horizontal stacked bar
chart: Shows the breakdown of cases by status, for each user.)
Cases by Priority by Month (Vertical stacked bar
chart: Shows the breakdown of cases by priority, for each month.)
Bugs by Status by User (Horizontal stacked bar
chart: Shows the breakdown of software bugs by status, for each
user.)

Financial Dashboard:

Fiscal Year Booked Sales (Horizontal bar chart:

sales booked for each of those months.)
Project Expected Revenue by
Month (Vertical stacked bar chart: Shows the forecast income from
Projects. The various colour bar segments are used to represent
projects which have different status. The six months starting last
month are represented.)
Projects Dashboard:
Project Expected Revenue by
Month (Vertical stacked bar chart: Shows the forecast income from
Projects. The various colour bar segments are used to represent
projects which have different status. The six months starting last
month are represented.)
Each chart may be
customized by clicking on the Edit button by the top right corner of the
chart. This will bring up a small dialog area which permits you to
specify parameters of the chart.
A remarkably
powerful feature of the Dashboard is that the charts allow for drilling
down into the actual underlying data. This means that each distinctively
coloured area on every chart is actively linked to the set of
opportunities it represents – simply click on an area to see those
opportunities.
