Building and saving a report

How do I build a report and save it to reuse?

Written by Antonio Sierra

Reports are how you pull data across many bookings at once instead of opening them one at a time. The step that decides everything else is which report type you start from — picking the wrong one is behind most reports that come back looking wrong.


​

Build your report

  1. Go to the Reports tab.

  2. Choose the report type that matches what you need:

    • Bookings — deal-level data, one row per booking, and the widest set of columns available.

    • Events — show-level data, including advancing and logistics.

    • Invoices — one row per invoice, for tracking what's outstanding.

    • Settlement — post-show reconciliation. This is also the type report templates are built against.

  3. Click Create New Report.

  4. Set your filters in the top right — date range, agent, artist, status. Leave them all clear if you want everything.

  5. Open the gear icon and choose Manager/Filters to pick your columns and set each column's format.

  6. Click Create Report to run it.

  7. Download the result as PDF or CSV.


​

Save it for next time

Save the report once you've got the filters and columns the way you want them, and give it a name you'll recognise later. From then on you can open it from the Reports tab and re-run it instead of rebuilding it.

Worth naming saved reports for what they actually contain — the agent, the artist and the period — rather than something generic. You'll end up with several, and the names are all you have to tell them apart.

Good to know

  • Filters live in the top right; columns and column formats live behind the gear icon under Manager/Filters. Two different places, and mixing them up is a common source of confusion.

  • Set date columns to Date Short (YYYY-MM-DD) if you plan to sort by date. Long weekday formats sort alphabetically instead.

  • A full Bookings export with every column added can run past 450 columns. Add only the columns you need and the file stays workable.

  • If a saved report ever looks short or wrong, rebuilding the same thing as a new report is the quickest way to tell whether the saved version is the problem.
