Description
Once Workbooks is your ‘single point of truth’, you want to use it to help you monitor your business and to make insightful decisions. Our 2-day Reporting course will introduce you to the basics of building Reports and Dashboards so you can share accurate information with your colleagues and stakeholders. It also covers configuration using Reports / Dashboards. This course is delivered face-to-face by an instructor, and gives delegates plenty of opportunity to get valuable experience by completing exercises within our trial database.
Course manuals will be provided with lots of space for you to write notes about what you learn and about aspects of the training that are important to you.
To enquire about dates beyond those shown above please contact training@workbooks.com.
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for users who have the responsibility for producing Report and Dashboards within their company.
What Will I Learn?
On completion you will be able to:
- Select the best method for creating your new Reports and identify which record type you should start with.
- Create multiple views of data, presented in the way that best suits the audience for that Report.
- Use commonly used reporting functions.
- Share data with the appropriate users.
- Enhance the configuration of your database using Reports and / or Dashboards.
What Are The Course Prerequisites?
These are no prerequisites for this course but we do recommend that delegates are familiar with the way in which their database has been set up.
Do I Need Any Special Knowledge To Take Part?
No, you don’t need to be particularly technical to understand Workbooks reporting but a good grasp of basic mathematics is helpful. Delegates who are already familiar with Excel and using formulae tell us that they find Workbooks reporting very straightforward. Whilst the training is carried out in a trial database it’s also useful if delegates have an idea of the sorts of reporting they’ll be doing in their live environment.
