Table Reports

Table Reports are designed to be extremely simple to use and provide a flexible, intuitive platform for users to create custom list reports and share them across the organization. Table Reports may be deployed as:

  • Personal Reports created by users who have authorized access. These reports contain data to meet local needs that users can export.
  • Additional custom reports created to support specific business cases. These reports will reside within the Report Center.

Table Reports provide basic metrics for standard implementations. The Table Reports are part of the platform and provide real-time reporting. These reports are in a list format and are available for simple data extraction to Excel, CSV, PDF, and PPT. The report data sources include most modules, excluding SAP SuccessFactors Learning (LMS), and data within the MDF framework.

Canvas Reports

Canvas Reports allows you to visualize data in a formatted, presentation-ready report. Canvas Reports utilize Page Designer, a self-service tool that can be used to drag & drop components onto a report page easily. These components can include Tables, Charts, Images, or Text.

The reports can include Live Detailed Reporting, Learning, Advanced Reporting, or Workforce Analytics measures & dimension data.

Using the Report Distributor or Report Scheduler, administrators can send the reports as attachments to emails or FTP.
