Operational Reporting¶
Operational reporting in IFS Cloud is the process of generating reports, either printed or digital, that are integrated into standard business workflows. This involves taking data from the system and presenting it in a user-friendly format. This section covers how to manage and configure these reports. The entire process can be divided into three key phases:
