Editor's Notes
- CLICK Sage Intelligence Reporting is a single investment. It is a single tool with Excel as the frontend so you don’t have to learn new software. SI accommodates all your reporting needs - financials, operational, dashboards, beyond the ERP. No need to have one tool for financial reporting (think Fr, FRx, FDE) and another tool for operational reporting (think Crystal). SI provides a one stop shop for all reporting needs, integrated into your ERP empowers you to quickly and easily obtain the information you need for improved reporting across your entire business. CLICK Based on the familiar Microsoft Excel application, Sage Intelligence Reporting uses data from all modules within your Sage ERP as well as other ODBC-compliant databases such as SQL, Oracle, even if you want to make a connection with an Excel table. Using Excel it lets you effortlessly create reports and analyze data, improving your visibility into your organization and helping you make more informed business decisions. CLICK SI includes predefined reports that comes shipped with your Sage ERP for financial and operational reporting. CLICK These reports save time - since they are re-usable templates they reduce redundancy, and by populating with data straight from your ERP in any format you desire you can review updated results simply by re-running the report at the click of a button. It is easy to get up and running with pre-built pre-configured reports that you can use and modify as well as building the reports the way you need to see them.

- A SI report consists of 3 components 1st part - The getting to the data and describing the data to be reported on - this is known as the container. A Container points to the table and fields used in the report; it is either a single table, a SQL join, a graphical tool SQL join, a SQL query or a stored procedure and it stores the instructions, tables and fields for your reports 2nd part - The Report properties like the columns, filters, parameters (what info you want included in your report) 3rd part - The Excel template which defines what the report looks like when delivered into Excel i.e. pivot tables, graphs etc. So make all this work we have the: Connector module is the point where database connections are established; it serves two functions 1) the connector determines what data is available for reporting. Within your connector module you have your connections and your containers which define what db the report is pulling from, where that db is, and then what tables, fields and expressions you are going to make available for your reporting needs. Defines how the connection is made to the database. 2nd function – defines ‘containers’ – points to tables and fields that is required by the user; it is a map that points to the approp data that is going to be included on the report. Separate module to be purchased but you do not need it to run SI. Report Manager You will find the report itself in the Report Manager and the report is linked to one of those containers in the connector. 2 functions – 1) run a report and 2) create a report - The Report Manager allows you to choose what data you want to make available to it, what data the report is going to use. The Report Manager is used to define sorting, filtering, parameter options, as well as many other report settings applied to the reports so that you can bring through the data you require to MS Excel. After you define your report here, you can run your report from the Report Manager and then view the report in Excel. Once the report is run out from the Report Manager, it opens to a Microsoft Excel workbook that allows you to edit and analyze your data. Finally, the template is then linked back or saved to the report in Report Mgr so that you can re-use
