About Custom Reports for Projects

Code Insight provides a Custom Reports Framework that enables users to develop and register custom reports that show project data curtailed for the needs of one’s site. For complete details on developing and registering a custom report, refer to the Custom Reports Framework in Code Insight article in the Revenera Community.

A custom report can be defined to output in one or more desired formats. Once a custom report is developed and registered through the Framework, it is available to any project as a selection along with the standard reports on the Reports tab. Users can then generate the custom report using the same procedure used to generate a standard report.

Depending on how the custom report is defined, users might be prompted for additional information before they can generate the report. For example, they might be required to select a second project so that data from the current project and second project can be compared or combined into a single report. Or they might be prompted to enter other information such as values to filter report content.

Any user can set up custom reports for a project. (For private projects, any user assigned to a role for the private project can set up custom reports for the project.) Code Insight also provides a set of example custom reports that can serve as a basis for creating your own reports. See the next section Example Custom Reports.
