Most Common Reporting Tool Functions

Learn more about the most commonly used features and functions of the Reporting Tool and additional features performed less frequently or by more advanced reporting users.

Main Reporting Tool Functions

  • Settings: Most settings are configured during implementation and should not be modified without first contacting Deltek support. Administrators or Configurators may choose to modify some settings, such as whether or not to enable all Deltek standard reports for user groups. (Administration >> Settings).
  • Groups: Administrators configure access to Reporting Tool features and screens and what actions users can perform. You can add groups and manage the group(s) to which a user belongs, as well as the default group for new Reporting Tool users. (Administration >> Groups).
  • Users: Administrators search for Talent Management users to add as Reporting Tool users. (Administration >> Users).
  • Data Management: Administrators schedule and initiate transfer of data from Talent Management to the Reporting Tool. (Administration >> Data Management).
  • Reports Management: Report users display all the reports you have access to. Narrow the list by type of report, module, or favorites. (Reporting >> Reports).
  • Report Working Area: Create and Edit: Report creators create and edit reports on the Report Working area. All users view reports on the Report Working Area. (Create Report).
  • Report Working Area: View: All users view reports on the Report Working Area. (Reporting >> Reports >> Action Menu >> Run).

Additional Reporting Tool Functions

  • User Events: Administrators view details of actions taken, by user name. (Administration >> User Events).
  • Report Wizard: This is the original way to create reports in the Reporting Wizard and has been replaced by the Report Working Area. Users may continue to create reports using the Report Wizard. This functionality may be sunset in a future release. (Reporting >> Report Wizard)
  • Data Object Builder: Advanced reporting users access the data stored in your Talent Management Solutions, and create objects for reports. (Reporting >> Data Object Builder).
  • Data Explorer: The Data Explorer is a research tool that provides an intuitive way to navigate the relationships between our data tables. Advanced reporting users can search and use data objects on reports, without the need for a robust understanding of SQL. (Tools >> Data Explorer).
  • Data Object Management: Administrators with proper access privileges must manage data objects created using the Data Object Builder. To keep your data clean the best practice is to delete those objects that are no longer in use. (Tools >> Data Object Management).
  • Denormalization Scripts: Administrators view statistics from scripts that were executed during the last import of data from Talent Management, such as the last date run and the duration of each script. (Tools >> Denormalization Scripts).
  • Report Statuses: Administrators view the report status for all reports by type: Common (Custom reports) and Standard (Default Talent Management reports). (Tools >> Report Statuses).
  • Import Tables: Administrators can remove Talent Management tables from the list of crons that run via Data Management to transfer data from Talent Management to the Reporting Tool. (Tools >> Import Tables).
