What reports are
What Repairs can tell you about your workshop, how its reports are grouped, and which ones are not repair-only.
Repairs ships a catalogue of reports rather than a single analytics screen, and each one answers a specific question. The catalogue is grouped by the kind of question, so you pick the group first and the report second.
Highlights
- Twenty-seven reports in eleven categories, all supplied with the product.
- Star the ones you run weekly and they gather under Favourites.
- Nothing here is built by hand. Every report is system generated.
- Seven of them are the wider platform's, and they are not filtered to repairs.
- A report is a live query, not a snapshot: it re-runs each time you open it.

Two kinds of report in one catalogue
Most of these reports were written for Repairs and read repair data only. Seven are the wider platform's own reports, listed here because a workshop needs them, and they behave the way they do everywhere else.
- Repairs' own reports
- Written for the workshop: ageing, technician performance, uninvoiced work, parts consumption. They read tickets and the documents tickets produced.
- Shared platform reportsseven of the twenty-seven
- Quote Details, Invoice Details, Customer Balance Summary, Payments Received, Purchase Order Details, Receive History and Stock Summary. They are the organisation's reports, shown here unchanged.
