How to Create Custom Reports

The Operations module must be enabled for your workspace. You also need the appropriate operations permissions. Contact your workspace administrator if you cannot access these features.

PlaneConnection provides over 40 built-in reports across six categories, plus a custom report builder for ad-hoc analysis. This guide covers navigating the reports hub, using built-in reports, and building custom reports.
