Reports overview

Reports help you analyze data and cover a wide range of topics.

You can export reports as PDF, XLSX, or DOCX and use report subscription to have them automatically delivered by email on a schedule you set.

An Energy Management Report Guide and Accounting Report Guide are available to help you decide which report best suits your needs and each has helpful tips for setting filters.

How to use reports

  1. Search for a report.
  2. Set the filters.
  3. Run the report to test your filters and review the results.
  4. Do you need to share this report with others?
  5. Subscribe to the report to receive it on a regular schedule.
  6. Use Report Distributions to send the report to a group on a regular schedule.

Report filters

  • RequiredYou cannot remove these filters.
  • RecommendedRecommended filters help filter and provide relevant results.
  • OptionalOptional filters further refine your report.

Topmost filter

Use the topmost filter to set the topmost place, cost center, or collection for reports. This can narrow your focus, as it limits the returned data to objects under the specified part of the tree.

topmost filters

Setting a topmost filter is particularly useful if chargebacks are implemented for your organization. Chargebacks use a node in the tree that may be named Supporting Data–NOT FOR REPORTING. Don't include this node in your report or dashboard because the results double count use and cost.

Save your configured report

After you have configured your filters you can save the report to My Saved Reports so you can quickly run the report again.

Recommended reports groups

EnergyCAP has created 3 report groups. An administrator can assign a report group to a user.


You can edit the reports available in each report group or create your own report group in the Reports module menu. This can be helpful because you don't have to sort through a large list of reports.

The report group is assigned to users through Manage Users and Roles.

Self-hosted clients can choose this option to download and automatically install the most recent reports in the background.

Only users with the appropriate permissions can see this option and complete the install.
