General
Reports in Workplace Management can be used to view data in a structured way, to be used for analytics purposes. A report can be presented to the user as a list, a hierarchy or a graph (column, bar, pie, etc.). In most cases, the report results can be exported to Excel or PDF.
Key users of a module have access to reports relevant for the modules they are authorized for.

Depending on the report, it is possible that a report does not have manual filter options. If so, the user will directly see the report results and the filter page is skipped. |
Dashboard
It is possible that multiple reports are combined on a dashboard. With a dashboard, there is one filter page shown, where the user can enter the desired filters. These filters will then apply to all reports in the dashboard.

Report results
Just like with a regular or advanced object search, the same applies to the results of a report.
In the report results, the user can filter, sort data of various columns and collapse/expand, if subtotals apply.

Export options
For most reports it is possible to export the data. By default, the Export to Excel option is available on the reports results page.
