Objective
To add a custom report using Enhanced Reporting.
Background
The Reports tool gives users the ability to create, generate and export customized reports. When designing a report, its author can include data captured by specific Procore tools, specify the desired column layout and also define how to group and filter report data. After generating a report, it can also be exported from Procore into Microsoft Excel.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- For company level reports: the user is a company admin.
- For project level reports: the user has 'Standard' or higher level permissions on the reports tool and has access to the data they are creating the column with. For more details, see: What additional user permissions are required to access reportable data with enhanced reporting?
