Using the Insights Module

The Reports function allows you to access a wide variety of pre-installed reports in the Reports Module. Although the Reports module will come with these ready-made reports, this module allows you to create customized reports based on the information you would like to see through the ad-hoc reporting tool.

When you access the Reports component, you are provided with a list of reports available for all modules. However, if you are looking for reports for a specific module, you may select your preferred module to view the available reports.

If you would like to select a ready-made report, perform the following:

  1. After you have selected your report from the Reports Overview Screen, select the Export icon. A list of export options appears in the drop-down menu.
