Schoox provides you with a powerful reporting tool within your academy, giving you the ability to track academy members' progress in a number of ways.
Users with Admin rights or Managers with the Reporting permission enabled are now able to create any report they want to, set specific fields and filters according to their needs, and export their customized reports as CSV files. Moreover, they can create a reporting template that will be available to anyone who has reporting permissions. Last but not least, they have the option to schedule the reports to be automatically delivered to either themselves or to others within the organization, based on the academy's org structure.
The Report Builder feature provides very detailed data about your members' training performance, based on the specific parameters you set up. You can get to the Report Builder options by navigating to the Admin tab from the upper navigation bar and selecting Reporting. From the left side, menu select Report Builder.
You can create both Public and Private Reports. Every public report that you create will be available to Managers, who have the Reporting permission enabled. Private reports will be available only to you.
Click on the Create New Report button and choose the type of your report. You are able to export many different types of reports, such as Course Reports, Curricula Reports, Event Reports, Member Reports, etc. Just click on the type of report you want and then hit Continue. You can return to the previous page, if you want to, by clicking the Back to control panel button at the top of the page.
On this page, you can also select to download the Reports' Index, which is a report that includes all the available reports in Report Builder, along with extra information about them, as well as their fields. Just click the Download Reports' Index button, on the top left of the page!
Once you have selected the type of your report, you are ready to set up the Report Options, select the Fields that you want to include, choose if you want to Schedule your Report to be automatically delivered to you or others in the organization, and choose if you want your report to be a Public or a Private one! You can also add a Description for each report created in the Report Builder, which will help you differentiate multiple reports with the same name!
Once you have finalized your selections you are ready to Save your Report! First, use the Public/ Private toggle to choose if you want your report to be a public or a private one. Then click Save if you just want to save the report, or Save and Run if you want to download the report now and also save it for future use.
