Carousel Report (Custom)

This custom report allows your managers to monitor their team’s performance with automated weekly reporting using our Report Shares.  The report utilizes the carousel to group your team members (e.g. technicians) by reporting manager.  Page 1 of the report is “consolidated” for the entire team.  The subsequent pages in the report are broken down by the each team member in the same group table sub-set. 

You can run “ad hoc” reports for example for “Annual Reviews” which enables you to generate performance reports by tech for a given manager all at once in minutes.  Just add a date range filter and then preview the report and export to PDF!

     • Page Header
       • Add team member ID, Name and Photo to appear on each page
       • Use the Merge Fields dropdown to insert the code
       • E.g. #ID# #Team_Member# #Photo#
   • Question Display dropdown
   • We recommend the option one page per team member
8. Click Save

Hint:  Multiple reports?  Use the copy command on the Reports tab once you setup your first report.  Then just change the filters and report name and preview the report or setup the report share (see below).   

Running the Report (Ad Hoc)

Click on the Preview to generate the full report. 

The Carousel Report on the Report Analyzer displays only the “Consolidated” data.  To generate the full report click on any of the Preview buttons.  If you are running the report as an “ad hoc” you may need to add a date range filter as the report defaults to all responses.  Report shares are designed to include only responses received during the report share frequency e.g. Weekly frequency would include responses from the last 7 day.  Monthly frequency includes responses for the previous month.

PDF Export (from the Preview)

You can export the report to Adobe PDF formatting from the Preview.
