Report Types

The two main report types are model reports and aggregated reports. Model reports display data from a single table. Aggregated reports display data from multiple related tables and can roll up data based on a code.

Examples of model reports are Calendar, Rates, and Project Data. Examples of aggregated reports are CPR Format 1, Time-phased, and Project Cost Set.

The applicable/available tags and parameters vary among the report types.

This table lists the available report types and provides a general description of each one. A Yes in the Aggregated column indicates that the time-phased data is summarized based on the report criteria before the report is generated. To run an aggregated report, you must select one or more criteria and one or more cost sets.

When you click All Reports in the navigation pane's group bar to view the All Reports pane, you can see various reports and their types.
