Great New Reporting Tool
Many of our customers have talked to us about different reports they would like to see in IMS. Many of the requests are similar with only slight variations and some are specific to their individual needs. What this has told us is that we needed to provide a flexible reporting tool that allows you to format your own reports and show the data the way you wish to see it.
We have now released a beta version of our new reporting tool and talking to our customers that have used it they are impressed with what they see. The new tool enables you to build custom reports, add and remove data fields, set filters, order data and set groupings, you can even view them as bar or line graphs. Once you have built a report you can save it as a custom report and re-generate it whenever you want.
The new tool provides the ability to mine the data out of IMS and present it in a format that you want to see it in. You can extract profit and loss reports and group them by customer or by the person who completed the job, enabling you to use it for reporting productivity or KPI information.
When you spend some time looking through the new reporting interface you will see you have a lot of flexibility to extract the data. As always, we are happy to talk to you if you need help or have any suggestions that could help us improve the tool.
