Graphical Reports

Introduction

In this episode, we will introduce you to the different types of reports.

On every module, you will find two types of reports, Item and Section. There is a special report that is only shown on the landing page of eramba (after login) called "Landing Dashboard".

Types

As explained in the introduction, in every module there are two types of reports:

• Section Reports
• Item Reports
• Landing Page Reports

If you want to run a Section report, access the module you want to work with, click on Report / Section and then select the template you wish to execute and click on "View". This type of report will be populated using all data on the module.

If you wish to execute an Item report, then you need to select the item for which you need a report, click on the menu item, Reports and select the template you wish to execute.

eramba will load the data of that particular input into the template you selected.

The Landing Dashboard is loaded automatically every time a user logs in to eramba, you can select what template is shown to users in Settings / Dashboard. The same dashboard will be shown to all users, there is no dashboard per user/group.

 

Templates

As previously shown, reports are made out of templates. A template is a page where the user can drag and drop widgets.

Every type of template has different widget types, Section Widgets:

• Text: shows formatted text in your reports
• Filter: shows filters from the Filter module in your reports
• Chart: shows charts on your reports

Item Widgets has the same options as Section templates and:

• Table: shows a table that describes the item attributes as columns

Dashboard Widgets has the same options as Section templates and:

• Tasks: shows expired, current and future tasks
