Using Flexible Reporting

Using Flexible Reporting

By using Emburse Professional's Flexible Reporting, you can configure reports to show the columns you actually need and hide the ones you don't. Emburse Professional will retain column selections and apply them the next time you run the report.

For example, you may occasionally need certain information from a report (such as the expense's approval date) but not other information (such as the company code). When you run the report, you can use Emburse Professional's Flexible Reporting to select which columns you want the report to display so that you only view the information you need.

This feature is available for the following reports:

This article will show you how to use Flexible Reporting to select specific columns to display on your Emburse Professional reports.
