Drag-and-drop functionality includes:
- Management reports – A powerful, central interface to automates and streamlines management reporting. Select reports, scorecards, dashboards and charts into a report pack, add images, title pages, a table of contents, and explanatory text to create a PDF. Reports are automatically refreshed on open.
- Flexible list and aggregate reports – Stop the use of unsecured spreadsheets by providing more powerful functionality than a pivot table in a central web environment. For example:
- Create a simple table, comparing the sales for two products
- Create a complex multiple-page report, filtered by years and summarized by a multi-axis chart
- Create a P&L report using a chart of accounts hierarchy, and add rows underneath to include members of completely different hierarchies, such as accounts receivable outstanding
- Ad-hoc analysis – Move beyond reports that just tell you 'what' happened, to analyze the 'why' behind performance. Users can answer any question at any time, exploring multidimensional data from many different perspectives by filtering, drilling down, slicing and dicing.
- In-line charts and KPIs - Information is presented at-a-glance in pivot-tables, with instant trend insight eliminating the need to click around to find information.
- What-if – Developed using enhanced report features such as sliders, what-if functionality allows users to easily model different scenarios.
- Slicing – Superior data comparison from flexible slicing presents only what's relevant based on slice selections already made.
- Deep drill-through – Navigate data in real time to find answers to even the most complex questions, without having to write new reports. Drill through on calculated members and select multiple cells within a report.
- Real time reports – Gain all the benefits from Reporting Services reports while providing users with a single reporting environment. Integrate real time reports and geo maps from Reporting Services in your Zap reports and dashboards, and slice them by any dimension.
- Flexible functions – The solution comes with extensive pre-defined formulas to help users with common calculations, such as days sales outstanding and bottom inventory count. These in-built functions range from formulas for relative time, to statistical functions and OLAP operations, adding powerful functionality to even the most basic cubes.
- Visualization – Add a chart to a report in a single click. Choose from a wide range of charts, and even make the chart 3D. View data hotspots with conditional formatting and heatmaps.
- Automated report scheduling – Schedule the automatic distribution of reports, knowing that security will be automatically applied so users only see authorized data, even for PDF management reports.
