OVERVIEW

Reporting is a valuable outcome once data has been entered. Performance standards may be applied to help interpret reported data. Dashboards built using the Smartabase dashboard builder are useful ways of summarising data from multiple event forms. The older performance summary dashboards, personal bests and performance profiles tools are alternative ways of doing this as well.

Smartabase’s reports tool acts as its most customisable reporting method and forms the basis of several other tools. Reports created with the reports module can be saved for future use, displaying on the front page or for sharing with other users. Saved reports can also be used in the creation of live Excel and Power BI reports, which combine the functionality of Microsoft Excel and Power BI, respectively, with the reports tool. Finally, the integration of Spotfire analysis files with Smartabase allows for powerful analytics.
