Introducing the Custom Reporting Builder
Introducing the Custom Reporting Builder
Release: v1.0.66
We're shipping a major addition to the platform: the Custom Reporting Builder — a visual, drag-and-drop interface that lets you build tailored reports across every module in the system.
Why It Matters
Until now, reporting was limited to the pre-built views within each module. The Custom Reporting Builder removes that constraint. You can now combine HR, payroll, finance, spend, and contract data into a single report, on your terms, without writing a single query.
What's Included
Drag-and-Drop Report Builder
The visual interface lets you:
- Select data sources from any module (HR, Payroll, Talent, Finance, Spend Management, Contracts, and more)
- Add, remove, and reorder columns by dragging fields into your report layout
- Apply filters, groupings, and sorting rules directly in the canvas
- Preview live results as you build
No SQL. No exports. No waiting on an analyst.
Cross-Module Reporting
Reports are not siloed to a single module. You can pull headcount data alongside budget variance, or combine contract renewal dates with associated spend — in one unified view. This is particularly valuable for:
- Finance teams correlating headcount costs with budget forecasts
- HR leaders tracking hiring pipeline against approved headcount
- Operations teams reviewing contract obligations alongside vendor spend
Scheduled Delivery
Automate report distribution by configuring a recurring schedule:
- Choose from daily, weekly, monthly, or custom cron-style cadences
- Specify delivery recipients by user or group
- Deliver via email or in-app notification
- Reports run automatically at the scheduled time — no manual intervention required
This keeps stakeholders informed without requiring anyone to manually pull and share data.
Collaborative Report Sharing
Reports are collaborative by design:
- Share any saved report with individual users or teams
- Shared reports appear in recipients' report libraries
- Teams can build on each other's reports, promoting consistent metrics and definitions across departments
- Permissions are respected — users only see data they are authorised to access, even within shared reports
Getting Started
- Navigate to Reports in the main navigation.
- Click New Report to open the report builder canvas.
- Select your data sources from the module picker on the left panel.
- Drag fields into the report layout and configure filters as needed.
- Click Save to store your report, or Schedule to set up automated delivery.
- Use Share to distribute the report with colleagues.
Availability
The Custom Reporting Builder is available to all users on the platform as of v1.0.66. Access is subject to your role-based permissions — contact your administrator if you need access to specific modules or data sources.
