Project Reports
Project Reports summarize capital budget information by individual Capital Project.
Common Use Cases
- Reviewing the organization’s capital project list
- Preparing capital budget submissions and approval packages
- Summarizing projects by Department or Division
- Reviewing multi-year capital funding requirements
- Analyzing capital expenditures by project category or reporting hierarchy
- Producing management, board, or council capital budget reports
Project Reports display project budgets grouped and rolled up using reporting Trees, allowing users to analyze capital plans by organizational structure, project category, department, division, or other reporting hierarchies.
Project Reports can be generated for:
- A single Year
- Multiple Years
- A selected Dataset
- Specific reporting Trees or Segments
Depending on the report configuration, users can view:
- Detailed project-level information
- Rolled-up project totals
- Multi-year capital budgets and projections
- Expenditure and financing summaries
Project Report Properties

- Tree-based rollups and subtotals
- Current-year or multi-year reporting
- Expenditure and financing summaries

Example Use Scenario
A user may generate a five-year Project Report rolled up by the Organizational Tree and grouped by expenditures or financing groups to review:
- Planned project expenditures
- Financing requirements
- Total capital investment by organizational area
This allows management to analyze both detailed project budgets and high-level capital funding requirements within a single report.
