Sighten's reporting feature allows you to generate table reports and extract data for offline use. Five types of reports can be generated:
- Proposals Report is a list of proposals generated between specified dates and containing information about the site, system, and quotes associated with each proposal.
- Milestones Report is a list of signed contracts that were closed between specified dates containing information about the contract's post-sale workflow, such as the current milestone and the completion date of each milestone.
- Tasks Report is a list of workflow tasks that were last updated between specified dates containing task-level information such as task name and status but also corresponding site, quote, contract, and system data.
- Workflow report is a list of signed contracts last updated between specified dates that includes workflow status information, such as milestone submission date and completion or rejection date.
- Credit Applications Report is a list of credit applications last updated between specified dates that includes information on qualification status, approved amount and legal contacts.
This article shows the steps for accessing the reporting feature, creating and saving a report, and understanding the data contained in a report. You can also watch our overview video here.
Accessing reports
To access reporting, click on REPORTING. You can find this option on the upper right section of Sighten.
What jobs will I see?
- The jobs you see in reports will be based off your Sighten account permissions and will match what jobs you are able to see in the job pipeline.
- Example: If you are a sales manager and can see all the jobs in the pipeline, you'll also see all these jobs in reporting. If you are a sales rep, you will see your own jobs in reporting.
Navigating the reports page
The main area in the reports screen shows the report selected in the right bar. Scroll vertically and horizontally through the displayed report's data to view all of the report's content. The displayed report can be extracted as a CSV file by clicking on Export to CSV. Users can search through previously-generated reports using the search bar. A new report can be created by clicking on New Report.
