Reports

Reports can be defined as aggregated, manipulated and formatted data on the server that can be downloaded as a CSV or Excel file. They are extremely useful and can cover very different goals. There are reports for payroll, for creating breaks and lunches, tracking crop averages, and more. A list of reports available is accessible by pressing the Reports button in the Main menu. The user then sees the following list of reports;
