Custom reports

The Reporting screen allows you to create configurable and filterable custom reports. When creating a custom report, you can include or exclude certain types of data, such as organisation-specific custom profile fields, and refine the report using filters, which is ideal when gathering data for very specific reasons.

Example: You might want to create a report with learning plan completion data for people in your sales department who are based in a particular location, and then schedule it to be shared with the head of the Sales on a monthly basis so that they can keep track of the department's completions for important learning plans. To do this, you could create, schedule and share a custom learning plan report filtered in the following way:

You might filter by one or more existing sales-related communities, e.g., the Sales community.
If your organisation has a Department field, you might filter by a particular department, e.g., Sales.
If your organisation has a Job Title field, you might filter by job title, e.g., Sales representative.
If your organisation has a Location field, you might filter by a particular location, e.g., London.

Disabling custom profile fields

You can request that one or more of your custom profile fields be disabled and excluded from both quick and custom reports so that they no longer appear in them. For more information, see Disabling custom profile fields in reports.
