Custom Reports

Custom reports allow users to extract specific information to Microsoft Excel, in a usable format for further analysis. A raw data output of selected fields allows users to further modify information with the use of Pivot tables and charts or by simply reorganizing rows and columns in a desired way to accommodate custom report structure.

Custom Report Templates

Eclipse PPM Report Template feature gives users the ability to create custom report templates using Microsoft Excel. By using various formatting options and marking up the document, you can indicate where Eclipse PPM data should appear when the report is generated within the application.

Custom AdHoc Report

AdHoc reporting is the creation of dynamic, real-time reports by users on an as-needed basis.

These kind of reports are unique to your specific business query. They need to be precise, easy to understand, and sharable in order to make data-driven decisions as quickly and successfully as possible.
