Managed Reporting

Managed Reporting provides a streamlined reporting environment that virtually eliminates the complexities of corporate data. Managed Reporting Administrators can use the Domain Builder tool in the browser version to develop Managed Reporting, including Standard Reports and Reporting Objects. With the User Administrator tool available from the Managed Reporting browser or Developer Studio environments, Administrators can manage access to Managed Reporting domains. Administrators grant authorized users access to the information they need, while restricting unauthorized users from sensitive or confidential data.

Users of Managed Reporting can create and save reports that meet their individual business needs without knowing the details and complexities of the underlying data source or of the FOCUS reporting language. Managed Reporting ensures that users can access the information they require, while protecting sensitive or confidential data.
