Exclusive
preview of an upcoming Reporting Release feature
Recent feedback from our client
base has made us aware that some of our reports can be cumbersome
and slow to use. These performance problems are mostly related
to our reliance on Microsoft's Reporting Services to drive our
reports. As part of our upcoming reporting release we will be
looking to incorporate some of the reporting features into the
application itself so users will have access to information, such
as costs and profitability, at a glance and in
real time. This preview is an enhancement to the Project
List View which, essentially, will be a dynamic report that
users can interact with and drill into to see how results are
calculated.This view can be accessed* via Projects > List View > ADD > select 'Summary (BETA)' under Display Template and fill in any other required fields to create a new filter template.
As this is a beta test, we welcome any feedback and suggestions to help us improve this feature. All comments can be sent here.
*This view will only be available to users who have permission to view financial details via Admin > System Settings > Security Groups.
