What Data is Available in the Preconstruction Dataset for Enhanced Reporting?
In Beta
The User Activity dataset in 360 Reporting is currently available as an open Beta. For instructions on how to create a 360 Report with this dataset, see Create a User Activity Report in 360 Reporting.Objects in the Preconstruction Dataset
Reports based on Preconstruction data, such as a project's estimating numbers, can assist with project planning and decision making.
Not all objects are available to all companies. See below for what objects are in the dataset and who they are available to. Not all users see all objects in a company, please see permissions for more information on how a user’s tool permissions impact what objects are available to them in the dataset.

How are objects in the Dataset Joined?
Objects that have a relationship are linked by a join. When two objects in Enhanced Reporting are joined, they appear in the same row in a report. For example, a Company is joined to an User, therefore they will appear in the same row. Sometimes, two objects aren’t directly joined, but are joined through a third object. In this case, a field from that third object must be added to a report to show the connection between the first two. For example, an Company Distribution Group and a Company do not have a direct relationship, but a field from the User that does have a direct relationship with both will be added to a report, all three objects will appear in the same line.
The table below shows the joins of the objects in the dataset. To determine if two objects are joined, search for one across the top and the other on the side. The cell that corresponds to the column and row of the objects tells you if they are joined.
- If the cell shows “Join”, the objects are joined directly and fields from these objects will appear in the same row.
- If the cell shows “Join through numbered object,” the objects are indirectly joined through a third object. A field from that third object must be added to the report to see the data in the same row.
- If the cell shows “No join,” the objects do not have a relationship and data will not appear in the same row (the exception to this is if only measures from these objects have been added to the report).
