# Overview

Reporting tool in Encodify is a handy functionality that allows to extract data from the different modules in the system, specify the filtering criteria for data extraction, create and upload pre-formatted templates with calculation formulas and resulting sheets, download the report in different formats, namely `.xls`, `.xlsx or .csv`. Generated reports can be either opened in Excel or saved to some directory on your computer.

With the Reporting functionality in the system you can:

- Create a reporting module to create, set up, edit and delete reports
- Select modules and fields from which data for the report will be extracted
- Configure filters for fields to extract the exactly needed data for the reports
- Include Log information (download log, change log, workflow log, workflow comments, general comments, timetable log)
- Download generated report in .xls, .xlsx and .csv formats
- Upload formatted templates and then download the reports with the updated data

Please note, that generating .csv reports behaves a bit differently to .xls and xlsx. There are two points in difference:

- Only one module and no logs should be selected for exporting data in .csv reports generating;
- Templates are ignored during the .csv output if any uploaded.
