{"source_id":"cove-44898819174804","company":"Cove","kind":"documentation","category":"documentation","title":"Reporting Overview","url":"https://support.cove.is/hc/en-us/articles/44898819174804-Reporting-Overview","body":"Reporting tools give teams visibility into work orders, maintenance, inspections, and operational performance across a building or portfolio. While reporting is available to all users based on their permissions, Building Team members most often use these tools to track daily work, validate completion, share updates with leadership, and support recurring operational needs.\nCove offers multiple reporting options depending on how detailed or repeatable your reporting needs are. Teams can start with quick, in-module reports by filtering and exporting data directly from the Work Orders and Maintenance modules. For deeper insights and visual analysis, the Reports & Analytics section provides standardized reports and charting tools. For recurring or highly structured work order reporting needs, Custom Reports and Batch Reports allow teams to define report layouts, download them on demand, and automatically generate exports on a schedule. Some reports can also be viewed at the network level, enabling broader visibility across multiple buildings.\nThis article provides an overview of each reporting option, including when to use it, the types of reports that can be created, and step-by-step instructions for generating reports in each section.\n\nFiltering and Exporting from Work Orders, Maintenance or Inspections modules\n\nReports & Analytics Overview\n\nWork Order Analytics\n\nMaintenance Analytics\n\nCombination Reports\n\nLabor Analytics\n\nNetwork-Level Reporting\n\nFiltering and Exporting from Work Order, Maintenance & Inspection Modules\nWhen to use these options:\nUse in-module filtering and exporting when you need quick, real-time answers or one-off reports tied to day-to-day operations.\nBuilding Team members can generate targeted reports directly from the Work Orders, Maintenance or Inspections modules without leaving their workflows.\nExample Report Types\n\nOpen, completed, or overdue work orders\n\nWork orders by issue type, priority, or team member\n\nMaintenance due, overdue, or completed within a specific date range\n\nOpen Inspections based on status and due date\n\nHow to Create Reports\n\nNavigate to the Work Orders, Maintenance or Inspections modules and open any day-to-day management page in the module.\n\nAbove the table, click Filters and select your criteria. Click anywhere outside of the filter view to get back to the table.\n\nClick Edit Columns and select/de-select the information you’d like to see in the table. Click on an item and drag and drop it above or below to reorder, and then click anywhere outside of the filter view to get back to the table.\n\nClick on the download icon to download your report. The report will respect the filters and edited column view.\n\nNotes:\n\nFilters:\n\nFilters are not saved automatically on each page. When you navigate away from a page, any applied filters are cleared.\n\nIf you want to reuse the same filters later, you can bookmark the page on your browser with the filters applied.\n\nEdit Columns:\n\nColumn changes made using the Edit Columns button are saved for that page and remain until they are reset. These changes are specific to your view only and will not impact the information your colleagues see on their table.\n\nWhen columns have been customized, the Edit Columns button displays a teal background as a visual indicator.\n\nIf the columns are reset to the default view, the button returns to a white background.\n\nReports & Analytics Module\nWhen to use these options:\nUse Reports & Analytics when you need structured analytics, visual insights, or repeatable reporting beyond simple list exports. This section is designed for understanding trends, performance, and operational workload over time.\nThe Reports & Analytics area is organized into several analytics pages, each focused on a specific type of data. Together, these tools allow teams to analyze work orders, maintenance activity, labor effort, and combined datasets, as well as create and save charts and reports for ongoing use.Work Order Analytics\nWork Order Analytics focuses on reporting and analysis related to work order activity and performance.\nThis section includes:\n\nChart Builder – Create visual charts based on work order data\n\nWork Order Key Stats – View high-level metrics such as volume, completion, and backlog\n\nIndividual Reports – Run predefined work order reports (eg- Work Order submitted, by tenant, assignee, or issue type)\n\nBatch Reporting – Schedule recurring exports of work order reports\n\nCustom Reports – Build custom-formatted work order reports\n\nSaved Charts – Access previously saved work order charts (visible from the Chart Builder Dropdown)\n\nWork Order Analytics is most commonly used to track volume trends, completion performance, and operational efficiency.Maintenance Analytics\nMaintenance Analytics focuses on preventive maintenance activity and upcoming workload.\nThis section includes:\n\nChart Builder – Create visual charts based on maintenance task data\n\nTask Projection Report – Forecast upcoming maintenance tasks over time\n\nSaved Charts – View and reuse previously saved maintenance charts (visible from the Chart Builder Dropdown)\n\nMaintenance Analytics is useful for planning, forecasting workload, and monitoring PM compliance.\nCombination Reports\nCombination Reports allow users to analyze data sets that span multiple areas, such as work orders, maintenance, and inspections together.\nThis section is typically used when:\n\nComparing reactive work (work orders) against planned work (Maintenance Tasks)\n\nUnderstanding overall maintenance demand\n\nReviewing combined operational workload\n\nCombination Reports provide a broader operational picture than single-source analytics.\nLabor Analytics\nLabor Analytics focuses on team member effort and labor-related insights.\nThis section includes reports that help teams:\n\nUnderstand labor distribution\n\nAnalyze team member workload\n\nReview time spent across work types\n\nLabor Analytics is commonly used for staffing analysis and performance reviews.\n\nNetwork-Level Reporting\nUse network-level reporting when you need portfolio-wide visibility across multiple buildings, such as identifying trends, comparing performance, or reviewing aggregate workload.\nNetwork-level reporting is available within Reports & Analytics for users with network access. Not all reports or pages support a network-wide view, and some reporting options remain site-level only.\nWhat Can Be Viewed at the Network Level?\nThe following reporting tools support network-level (multi-building) views when the user has appropriate permissions:\n\nWork Order Analytics\n\nChart Builder (work order data)\n\nWork Order Key Stats\n\nIndividual work order analytics reports\n\nSaved Charts created from work order data\n\nMaintenance Analytics\n\nChart Builder (maintenance task data)\n\nSaved Charts created from maintenance data\n\nTask History\n\nCombination Reports\nReports that combine multiple data sources across buildings\n\nLabor Analytics\nLabor and team member-related analytics across sites\n\nCustom Reports\nCustom reports configured at the network level\n\nBatch Reporting\nScheduled reports that run across multiple buildings\n\nThese reports aggregate data across all buildings included within the network.\nSite-Level Only Reporting\nThe following reporting options are limited to individual buildings and cannot be viewed at the network level:\n\nTask Projection Report. Forecasting is calculated at the site level only","capture_id":"20b915aea08b734610f78d17e08ff12f4a5f7965eb519c3787ee9496b917eb7d","captured_at":"2026-10-12T13:27:57.185Z","published_at":null,"indexed_at":"2026-10-12T13:27:57.222Z","truncated":0,"scope_tier":"primary","monitor_reason":"","last_error":null,"last_attempt_at":"2026-10-12T13:27:56.541Z","enabled":1,"evidence_notes":[],"text_available":true,"media":["https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/45252301540116","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/45252308365332","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/44898766027028","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/44898995383572","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/44898995384852","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/44898995387156","https://support.cove.is/hc/article_attachments/44899027154836"],"interpretation":"Unreviewed source evidence.
