One of the standout features of SapphireOne is its customisation capabilities. Using the Custom Report Editor, Quick Report Editor, and Label Editor, users can tailor reports to meet their specific requirements. This flexibility allows organisations to create reports that are not only informative but also visually appealing, consistent with your organisations branding and styling standards, and easy to understand. The Custom Report Editor enables users to select from all available data tables and fields within SapphireOne, allowing for a high degree of personalisation. This means you can design reports that align perfectly with your organisations unique needs and preferences.
SapphireOne offers multiple export options to suit different needs. Reports can be printed on physical printers, sent via preconfigured emails in HTML or PDF format, or exported as CSV or PDF files. This versatility ensures that you can share your reports in the most convenient format for your audience. Whether you need to present data in a board meeting, share it with clients, or analyse it further in a spreadsheet, SapphireOne provides the flexibility to do so effortlessly.
Advanced Reporting with 4D Write Pro and 4D View Pro
For those who require more sophisticated reporting, SapphireOne includes 4D Write Pro and 4D View Pro. These tools enable programmatically driven custom reporting, allowing users to create complex reports that surpass standard capabilities. 4D Write Pro facilitates data-driven document generation, making it ideal for creating detailed narratives and advanced calculations. On the other hand, 4D View Pro offers near limitless possibilities for customising your organisation’s reports. Utilising hundreds of functions, its intuitive tools simplify the execution of various business calculation functions accurately. Users can sort, filter, search, sum up, and more. Additionally, pivot tables can be used to quickly summarise, group, and rearrange data, helping to explore trends and patterns effectively. These advanced tools are particularly useful for organisations that require in-depth analysis and detailed reporting to support strategic decision-making.
Email Custom Reports
The Sapphire Email Custom Reports tool is another powerful feature that enhances the reporting capabilities of SapphireOne. This tool enables users to email custom reports directly from their SapphireOne data file. Users can send personalised and customised data reports instantaneously to one or multiple clients or vendors. This feature is particularly useful for organisations that need to share up-to-date information with stakeholders regularly. For example, you may have a client that makes orders for large quantities of inventory on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. With the Email Custom Reports tool, you can create a customised report that includes all the data on order invoices for that particular client and send it in a text file, PDF, or CSV format.
Additionally, SapphireOne offers robust features for managing job projects and visualising them through Gantt charts. These tools help in tracking the progress of various tasks and milestones, ensuring efficient job project management. You can create detailed reports on job project progress, resource allocation, and budget tracking, and include these in your custom reports. This integration enhances communication with clients and vendors by providing them with up-to-date, customised reports on job project status and other relevant data.
