Report Packages

Report Packages

Overview


Report Packages allow you to bundle multiple reports into a single, organized package for easy generation, review, and distribution. Instead of running and sending individual reports one by one, you can group them into a package and generate them all at once. This is especially useful for periodic reporting, such as monthly financials, quarterly reviews, or year-end reporting.

With Report Packages, you can:
  1. Combine multiple financial and management reports.
  2. Standardize reporting for consistent presentation.
  3. Save time by automating recurring reporting tasks.
  4. Share reports easily with stakeholders.
