Types of reports explained

Understand the four report types in Report Studio - current, leaderboard, historical and item - and choose the right one for your data.

There are four types of reports in Zigaflow:

  • Current

  • Leaderboard

  • Historical

  • Item

These are explained in this article.

Open Report Studio

1. Click "Report Center"

Zigaflow Dashboard with the Report Center menu highlighted in the top navigation bar, above the Recently Created Quotations list

2. Click "Report Studio"

Report Center menu open on the Dashboard with the Report Studio option highlighted above Saved Reports

3. Select the module to report on - in this example we will look at Quotations

Report Center Module dropdown open with a list of modules, Quotations highlighted as the selected option

Current overview

4. "Current Overview" - this reports on the Quotations, Jobs/Sales Orders (depending on the module selected) based on current statuses.

This is ideal for seeing the value of your pipeline or order book. It is based on the current status of the Quotations, Jobs/Sales Orders, etc.

You can view this data in a chart.

Metrics leaderboard

5. Click "Metrics Leaderboard". This gives your groupings in a leadboard format. For example, you can group by "Assigned User" (i.e. salesperson), or Customer to see your best performing.

This data doesn't show in a chart.

Historical overview

6. "Historical Overview" has a record for each time a quotation, Job/Sales Order, etc., moves through a status. This is ideal if you want to see the value of quotations sent last week. It will report on all quotations that passed through the "Sent" status during that period.

However, it is important to remember that if you select multiple statuses on this report, for example, "Sent" and "Accepted", a quotation may have moved into both of these statuses and will therefore have its value appear twice in the report.

In summary, use "Current" for the pipeline as it is today, and "Historical" for how it has changed.

Item analysis

7. "Item Analysis" - this reports by the items/products/services. You can still group by Customers, or Assigned Users, etc. and then filter by an item code
