Reports - for the majority of our customers - are why they have a system. The report function gives you the ability to readily recall information about: asset listings, work completed, work outstanding, costs and charges, fault analysis etc.

Although FrontLine has the ability to produce a wide range of standard reports it is still important that you establish just what information you want the system to provide before starting to input data. Too little data may not produce what you need but too much data could be just a waste of time and resource if you don't use it.

So whichever reports (costs and charges, fault analysis, downtime etc.) are the driving force behind your having a system the ultimate success will be achieved by inputting consistent well structured data. Good structured data will maximise the searching and reporting capabilities of your system.

The 90+ standard reports are held in 10 specific groups, within this section. Each report has its own individual selection and sort criteria screen. In addition to the standard reports, you have the option to create your own variations adding details such as barcodes, logos, pictures etc to both work order and standard report formats.

A report selection screen appears (this screen will vary from report to report). From this screen you are able to make selections building a filter of what data you want to run the report against. Using the example, shown “Asset Listing – Concise”; you may wish to run a report showing “Assets in a certain Location” or “Assets of a certain Description” or a compound search: “Assets of a certain Description in a certain Location” - (fig. 4).
