Use Cases for Table Reports
Key characteristics of table reports are that they are relative fast and simple to create, but the output is unformatted lists of data. This output makes them less likely to be distributed directly to report consumers for online viewing.
More likely is that individuals that create table reports will either utilize the data themselves or transfer and supply the data to the individual by some other means. Some examples might include.
- A business analyst creates a simple table report to extract some Compensation data needed for a project to an excel file. That data is further analyzed in Excel.
- A report creator responds to a one-time request from a manager for some information on their direct reports as soon as possible. The report creator creates and runs a simple table report that is attached as PDF.
- An SAP SuccessFactors admin needs to quickly see the number of logins to the SAP SuccessFactors platform per day.
