Objective

To add a custom report using Procore's Reports tool.

Background

The Reports tool gives users the ability to create, generate, and export customized reports. When designing a report, its author can include data captured by specific Procore tools, specify the desired column layout, and also define how to group and filter report data. After generating a report, it can also be exported from Procore into Microsoft Excel. 

Things to Consider

    • 'Standard' permission on the Project level Reports tool.
      AND
      • If creating a report using data from a Financial Management tool:
        • You must have 'Admin' permission or higher on the appropriate financial tool. 
          IMPORTANT! If creating a report using data from the Budget tool, you must have 'Admin' permission on the Budget tool and the Company Admin tool.

        • You must have 'Admin' permission on the Company Directory.

    • Once you've added the desired columns, you have these options:
      • Group report data
        In the Group by list, select one of the items in the drop-down menu to group report data by the specified column (e.g., you may want to group data by the responsible contractor). 
      • Filter your report data
        Click the Add Filter drop-down menu to select what you would like to filter by. Once you've specified a filter, you can add another filter. You can also filter data by date range by selecting a start and end date.
      • Change the column order 
        Use a drag-and-drop operation to place the column into the desired position.
      • Aggregate data
        Click the fx in the column and select one of the following (for numeric values): count, sum, min, max, or average. Once the report is created, you will see the count, sum, min, max, or average of the values at the bottom of the column.  For field types that are not a numeric value, you have the option to aggregate by count.
