Report

Report – is systematized data for analyzing user or company activity.
There are system and user reports in ELMA. The system administrator creates user reports in ELMA Designer.
System reports – are designed and configured by ELMA developers. You cannot delete or edit these reports. You can edit a system report after copying it, i.e. when it becomes a user report.
In ELMA, system reports are not available in the Enterprise edition working on Oracle.
User reports – are configured and adjusted to user or company requirements in ELMA Designer. You can edit or delete these reports.
Parent report – is a report that contains one or several sub-reports.
The list of ELMA reports is on the Reports tab in ELMA Designer (fig. 1).
