The Reports section allows a user to view, format, and summarize information entered in HopeWorks to analyze data or communicate information.
HopeWorks users can select a report from the report list and customize it using a report builder with visualization and data formatting options to fit their reporting needs.
Select Reports from the main menu then choose a report that you would like to work with from one of the 3 sections in the menu: Report List, Favorites, and Recently Viewed.
Report Lists
This section contains a default list of the most common database reports. These reports include HopeWorks data formatted for the most requested information in the system. A user can scroll through the report list or use the Search function to find a report to work with.
Recently Viewed
This section contains a list of reports recently visited. The reports on the list show the date each report was last viewed and allows a user to easily navigate back to it.
Favorites
This section lists reports that are accessed often and marked as Favorite by the user. A user can mark a report as Favorite by following these steps:
Go to the Reports Dashboard page and find the report that you want to work on.
Click on the star icon at the top right-hand side of the screen to mark the report as Favorite.
The Report title appears in the Favorite section.
To continue to work on a report offline, a user can export and download the report by selecting the Download and Share icon on the top right-hand side of the screen and selecting a format: Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) or Comma Separated Values (.csv).
The Reset View option allows the user to change all the report formatting back to the default report setting
Select Reports from the main menu, then select the report that you would like to work on. Then, select the Customize button at the bottom of the screen to open the report builder.
A user can change how the data is viewed by adding and removing columns, applying filters, sorting, and/or grouping to organize information, or choosing a type of chart or graph.
HopeWorks gives users more control over how and when report data updates using the "Apply" button. This helps improve performance when working with complex reports by allowing users to apply layout or filter changes manually.
Apply Button: The Apply button in the Report Options menu allows users to manually apply layout and filter changes when automatic updates are disabled.
"Apply Automatically" Setting: The Apply Automatically option in the Report Options menu lets users choose whether changes are applied immediately or only after selecting the Apply button. Note: The default state of the Apply Automatically setting reflects the user’s preference saved under Auto-Apply Changes in Account Settings.
The following changes do not refresh the data until the Apply button is selected:
Adding or removing columns
Adding, editing, reordering, or removing filters, sorts, or groups
Entering or modifying text in the search bar
After any of these actions:
The report data, pagination, and row count appear grayed out.
The Apply button becomes active and must be selected to update the report.
HopeWorks allows the user to save a customized view of a report.
