Task Report - Task Management Solution

Task management report is an irreplaceable tool that lets you both focus on specific parts of your projects and have sight and knowledge of your company activity as a whole. CentriQS task report software will help you create striking, colorful, and dynamic graphical reports which reflect the latest data updates. Task reporting makes sure that you know about current status of any project, recent progress your team has made, critical issues that can affect the whole process, corrective actions to be taken, etc.

What is Task Report?

Task report is a preformatted document which contains required information about one or multiple tasks. Report information can be presented in any available task report format: text boxes, tables, charts, etc. For example, you can generate task burndown report that includes text boxes for fields ‘Estimate’, ‘Actual’, ‘Remain’, etc., and burndown chart that illustrates how ‘Remain’ changed during the week.

Task Report Template

Task reports are generated from templates which have predesigned layout and contain specified parameters (also it can allow setting additional parameters while generating reports). CentriQS task report software features default task report samples available in all databases such as ‘Task Detail Information’, ‘To Do List’, etc. and allows creating your own custom task report templates such as ‘Task Usage Report’, ‘Task Assignment Report’, ‘Task Allocation Report’, and others.

Default Task Report Templates

Default task report templates are standard templates which are already created by CentriQS team and can be used for generating various reports on tasks and projects. For example, “Task Detail Information” report template gathers all task properties (even those which are not shown in task detail view) into one document.

Custom Task Report Templates

You can create and customize your own task report templates from scratch in Report Designer view. For that purpose you need to click the ‘Add’ button in the Reports view, specify the data source: entity Task and/or Task Analytics, and then start designing the layout of the custom report template.

Also you can create a new report template by duplicating and modifying default report templates. For example, you can duplicate template “To Do List”, open the copy ‘Template Designer’, then group and sort tasks by Priority and save a brand new report template as “Prioritized To Do List”.

The data in the custom report can be presented ‘as is’, calculated or highlighted. For example, task tracking report can calculate how long the task remains undone after it has become overdue.

Once you have all necessary task report templates in place, you can generate task management reports in a few clicks. There are several ways to generate a report depending on your needs and goals.
