Generating an on-demand report

On-demand reports let you produce a board-ready or module-specific document whenever you need one. You pick a template, name the report, shape the draft in the editor, and mark it Ready when finished.

Written by Taylor Laing
  • Open Reports from the admin sidebar → Governance → Reports

  • The page has two tabs: My Reports and Templates

  • Start a new report with New Report and choose a template

  • Each report opens in the editor as a Draft, with Save and Mark as Ready actions

  • Build the report page by page, then export it as PDF or PPTX

Opening Reports

Go to the admin sidebar → Governance → Reports (/app/reports). The page shows:

  • Recent Reports: quick-access thumbnails of your most recent reports

  • My Reports tab: every report you have access to

  • Templates tab: the report templates available to you

The My Reports table lists each report's Name, Type (generated reports show Custom), Period (the reporting window), Generated date, and Status (Draft or Ready).

Creating a new report

  1. Click New Report in the top right.

  2. Pick a template from the picker. The demo tenant ships one template: the Quarterly Psychosocial Risk and Culture Report.

  3. Optionally give the report a custom name and description.

  4. Click Create to generate the draft and open it in the editor. The generated report shows Type = Custom.

For a full board pack, start from the Quarterly Psychosocial Risk and Culture Report template. See The Quarterly Board Report.

The report editor

The editor opens in Editing mode:

  • Top bar: back arrow, Editing/Preview toggle, undo/redo, the report title, the current status, Save, and Mark as Ready

  • Left sidebar: panels for building the report (see below)

  • Centre: the report content, paginated

  • Bottom right: page navigation and zoom controls

Building the report

Add and arrange content from the left-sidebar panels:

  • Tables: structured data tables drawn from your tenant

  • Charts: visualisations of your metrics

  • Layout: page layout components

  • Data and Fields: dynamic fields that pull live from your tenant (reporting period, prepared-by, and similar)

  • Text: headings and paragraphs for your own commentary

  • Media: images and other assets you upload or reference

Drag an element onto a page or click to insert it. Elements that pull live data are refreshed when the report is regenerated, so a report reflects your tenant at the time it runs.

Images and logos come from your organisation's asset library. See the asset library article in Account & Administration.

Saving and marking as ready

Click Save at any point to keep your progress. A report stays in Draft while you iterate. When it's finished, click Mark as Ready; the status moves to Ready and the report becomes exportable.

Exporting

Once a report is Ready, export it from the editor or from the Reports list as:

  • PDF: the standard format for distribution and filing

  • PowerPoint (PPTX): useful when you're presenting the report in a meeting
