Reporting System Overview



RevLock includes a powerful warehouse and embedded reporting toolset. This overview highlights some of those features and provides a roadmap to help new clients navigate the reporting system.



Navigating reports


Each reporting dashboard has six main sections.

Main menu. This is where you open the Reports dashboard.

Report name. Always know where you are.

Top toolbar. The range of available tools changes with report type.

Attributes. Add these to dig deeper into the data.

Metrics. Add these to understand performance.

Drillable data. The list of categories changes with report type.



Structure


Click the Reports link on the main menu. It opens a Reports dashboard with tabs for each key category of reports.



Revenue reports


Click the Revenue tab.



The Unearned Revenue Rollforward report shows attributes and metrics in the left pane and a table with default and custom fields. This report increases deferred revenue with new billings and decreases the total as revenue is earned.



The Revenue WaterFall provides a periodic rollforward of the unearned revenue as is planned today through a specified future reporting date.

The Revenue Backlog WaterFall provides a periodic rollforward of the backlog as is planned today through a specified future reporting date.

The Sales Orders report shows all active contracts loaded into RevLock.



Commissions
