Installation is quick and painless

After a few clicks you are on your way to creating reports. No setup wizards or scripts necessary. After installation you will find a few example reports that you may find useful. When creating a new report you will be asked which module you wish to report on. Then what type of filters to use, which fields to show, and how to group them (such as by account, or user). You can also filter or group by related fields in a module. For example, show all Accounts which have Meetings coming up in the next month. The creation wizard also lets you select from three different visual charts: Pie, Funnel and Bar (also know as a column report).

When viewing a report you have the ability to change which values or filters you want to look at along with the list shown below the chart. Additionally, you can download reports as PDFs or add any report as a dashlet on your home page. Reports also has a Dashboard Reports screen, which is similar to a SugarCRM dashlet. From the Dashboard you can display multiple reports (such as sales and leads) as widgets. For example, you can create a tab called “Q4” that displays up to three columns of reports and another tab called “Fiscal Year 2014” that display different (or similar) reports based on your needs.
