Reporting that works for you 

To put you in complete control, we provide a specialist SQL-based reporting database which supports direct SQL querying, integrated SSRS reporting and further analysis using the business intelligence tools of your choice.

Reports can be provided as formatted reports, visual dashboards or CSV extracts, making it easy to access your data in a way that works for you. User permissions can easily be managed to make sure different institutional roles have access to the data that is most useful to them. You can write your own custom report templates using SSRS, or our specialist team can work with you to create them on your behalf.

Stock or custom reports

Save time with our out-of-the-box dashboards and data extracts, available at the click of a button, or register custom reporting templates to your institution’s specific requirements. Stock reports include formatted CVs and biosketches, publication summaries, user profile completeness, ORCID identifier user, REF data quality, and more.

An Introduction to Elements 1

Reporting made easy

To put you in complete control of your reporting, Elements provides each of our clients with a specialist SQL-based Reporting Database which is continuously updated from the Elements operational database. This supports direct SQL querying but also allows you to analyse your Elements data using the business intelligence tool of your choice.

We also offer integrated SSRS reporting, empowering our clients to create their own custom reports which can be generated directly within the Elements UI. You can use our standard templates, write your own, or have our team of experts create custom templates for you. Our reporting functionality supports a wide range of data types and formatting options including dashboards, data extracts, spreadsheets, CVs, group activity reports or formatted lists of outputs and activities. You can even add visualisations such as charts, graphs, co-authorship or collaboration diagrams and maps.
