The views
If your organization is not using the Advanced ROI module, this Report will have two views: List and Graph. To toggle between them, select the name of the view you want to see.
- List: Shows the total financial impact of the Items on which each user has filled the specified role, the total time savings of those Items (in time and in monetary amounts), and the number of those Items which resulted in quality, safety, and satisfaction improvements.
- Customize the impact columns on the report by hovering over a column's header and selecting the caret icon.
- Sort Ascending will arrange the data from low to high Impact based on the column you selected.
- Sort Descending will arrange the data from high to low Impact based on the column you selected.
- Columns will open an additional dropdown menu where you can customize which columns appear on the report.
- In addition to columns that report Impact in currency, the Environmental Impact, Product, Resource, and Waste Impact Categories will also have columns that report Impact in their non-currency units. These columns will have "Values" appended to the end of the category name.
- Customize the impact columns on the report by hovering over a column's header and selecting the caret icon.
- Graph: Displays the selected data as a bar graph.
- Display as Bar: Expand the drop-down to select the dataset that should be represented as a bar on the graph. By default, this Report will show the total final impact per user.
- Display as Line: Expand the drop-down to select the dataset that should be represented as a line on the graph.
- Sort: Expand the drop-down to select by which criterion this dataset should be ordered.
- Max: Enter the number of data points that should be represented on this graph. By default, this Report will show 15 data points, but it can be configured to show 1-50.
- Show Values: When enabled, the value of each data point will be displayed on the graph.
Pro Tip: Are you unsure what all the options in the Display as Bar and Display as Line drop-downs mean? Check out this article to learn more about important Impact terminology.
If your organization uses the Advanced ROI module, this Report will have a third view called Bowling view.
- Bowling view displays Impact data for Items with which each user is associated as a bowling chart, color-coding the Actual Impact based on whether or not it matches or exceeds the Target or Forecast Impact.
- Show: Select any combination of Target, Forecast, Actual, Current Forecast, and Actual Variance to add or remove them from the report.
- By default, Target, Actual, and Forecast Impact will be selected.
- Current Forecast displays the Actual Impact for past time intervals and the Forecast Impact for present and future time intervals. This gives you a dynamic outlook on Impact that considers the current date.
- Actual Variance displays the difference between the Actual Impact and Target or Forecast Impact, depending on which is selected as the reference. This helps you see how much the Actual Impact differs from prior estimates.
- Show: Select any combination of Target, Forecast, Actual, Current Forecast, and Actual Variance to add or remove them from the report.
-
- Reference: Pick which data series you want the Actual Impact to reference when color-coding the chart. You can select Target, Forecast, or None.
- Selecting None will result in a chart that is not color-coded.
- The Column Totals checkbox: When selected, you will see a footer at the bottom of the Report that summates the data in each time interval.
- The Row Totals checkbox: When selected, you will see an additional "Total" column on the left of the time intervals that summates data in each row.
- The Future Color checkbox: When selected, time intervals in the future will be color-coded according to whether the Actual Impact is greater or lesser than the referenced Impact.
- This checkbox is unselected by default, so future intervals will not show false results due to Actual Impact not being logged yet.
- Reference: Pick which data series you want the Actual Impact to reference when color-coding the chart. You can select Target, Forecast, or None.
The filters
Any relevant filters on the main Reports screen will be automatically applied to this Report but can still be configured as needed.
- There are two date-based drop-downs in the List and Graph views, and three in the Bowling view (only available if your organization uses the Advanced ROI module). From left to right, there's the "Reference Date" drop-down, the "Range" drop-down, and the "Interval" drop-down.
- Reference Date: Expand the drop-down to choose which type of date should be referenced by the Report. For example, select "Created in" if you want the Report to reference only Items created in the specified date range.
- Range: Expand the drop-down to choose the range of dates that should be included in the Report.
- All Time removes any date range parameters.
- Custom allows you to enter any date range you want.
- Past shows you a rolling date range that counts back from the current calendar date.
- Current shows you data for the current week, month, quarter, or year.
- Last shows you data for the previous week, month, quarter, or year.
Pro Tip: The Last YTD option helps you set a date range matching the current year-to-date period but for the previous year instead. For example, if it is March 15th, 2024, and you select Last YTD, your Report will cover data from January 1st, 2023, to March 15th, 2023. This logic is also true for the Last MTD and QTD options.
-
- Interval: Expand the drop-down to choose the interval, or "buckets," by which the Report should be organized.
- Workflow: Expand the drop-down to choose which workflows should be included in the Report.
- Template: Expand the drop-down to choose which Templates should be included in the Report.
- The Only Complete checkbox: When enabled, this Report will only include data from completed Items; when disabled, it includes data from any Item that has a Resolution saved, regardless of status.
- Currency: This option is only available if your organization has multiple currencies enabled. By default, the Report will only show the financial impact of Items using your location's default currency. To change the Report's currency, expand the Currency drop-down and select the desired currency.
- Currency Conversion: Currency conversion is only available if your organization has multiple currencies and the Advanced ROI Module. When currency conversion is enabled, there will be two currency drop-downs.
- Reported in: This drop-down determines which Impacts are included in the Report based on their original currency. When a currency is selected, the Report will include all Impacts logged in that currency. For example, if a project's Impact was recorded in USD, then USD must be included in this field for the project's data to appear in the Report.
- This drop-down is multi-select. If you want to consider all Impacts in your organization regardless of their currency, then select all options or choose Any Currency.
- By default, your Location's default currency will be listed.
- Display As: This drop-down determines which currency the Report displays. All Impacts that match your filters will be converted to the currency selected. For example, if you choose USD and EUR in the "Reported in" drop-down and then you display the data as EUR, the system will convert USD Impacts to EUR and display all data as EUR.
- This drop-down is single-select. The Report can only display data in one currency at a time.
- By default, your Location's default currency will be selected.
- Reported in: This drop-down determines which Impacts are included in the Report based on their original currency. When a currency is selected, the Report will include all Impacts logged in that currency. For example, if a project's Impact was recorded in USD, then USD must be included in this field for the project's data to appear in the Report.
Pro Tip: The system will use your selection in the Reference Date drop-down when determining which Exchange Rate to use for the currency conversion. For example, if you select "Realized In," the Impacts are converted using the Exchange Rate active on their Realized Date. If you select "Created In," Impacts are converted using the Exchange Rate active during their Item's Create Date. Check out our article about setting your organization's Exchange Rates to view current and historical Exchange Rates configured by your organization.

- Impact: Expand the drop-down to choose the Impact(s) which should be shown on the Report.
- If an Impact supports Impact Values, which are additional classifications beneath the Impact, an additional Impact Values drop-down will appear. Use this dropdown if you want to report on specific Impact Values within an Impact.
- Investment: If your organization has at least one Investment Type, an Investment drop-down will appear. Use it to choose which Investment(s) should appear on the Report.
- The Investment filter is only available in List and Graph view.
If you choose Impacts or Investments via the Item filter instead, the Report will include all data from Items that have at least one of those Impacts or Investments, not just the Impacts and Investments you selected.
