  • Cross tab: Cross tab reports allow the display of data on two axes and enable users to run time-series reports defined by two data sources, for example, payments made per quarter per vendor.
  • Summary: Summary reports can be run to display summary data. Project-level summary reports can also be used to customize the project summary page and include the information that is most useful for you.
  • Alert: Project/shell-level alert reports are used to set up and customize system alerts based on project/shell-level triggers that you specify. For example, you have an alert let you know when your remaining budget is getting low. Alerts are set up and customized by users for their own use using alert reports.
