Custom Reports

The default configuration for data listings might not always meet your specific requirements. If you're utilizing a table template for data listings, you might find it necessary to customize the table columns by adding, removing, or rearranging them. Additionally, there could be a need to generate multiple reports for various purposes. For instance, within the 'Tasks' module, you might desire a report that highlights overdue tasks, as well as another report that exclusively lists active tasks. OBS ERP allows the creation of such personalized reports.

Modify current report

Click the Gear button above the data listing template in order to add, delete, or rearrange columns as shown on Fig. 1
