Allow customization of reporting to include and exclude specific data elements

What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

Allow customization of reporting to include and exclude specific data elements

Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

Problem: Reports are crowded with unnecessary data points that are not applicable to the reviewer (Fields like Data Source, Monitoring Plan, Item, etc). Currently the “Presentation” field selections just moves the data from a Column to a row of data underneath the found record.
I feel like this change to include or exclude fields entirely from the report will allow for much cleaner presentations of data and streamlining many business leaders review, since they are no longer reviewing superfluous data for their decision.

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

Manually guide the reviewers through the process and ensure they understand what all the data points mean, even though they are not relevant!

@nicholas.duvernay hi and thanks for your suggestions! What we found historically that when users ask to enable report customizations, it makes the solution more complex for the majority of the uses and only the power users like yourself can really dig it. For this reason I have a few thoughts:

  1. Would a PowerBI or other reporting tool connector with a pack of precanned reports completely flexible for customization solve your problem?
  2. Have you played around with User Accounts - Attributes reports? Do they work more along the lines of what you envision?
  3. Have you tried configuring the columns in Searth? It allows you to choose which colums you display. Is this close to what you’d like to see?
    Please let me know or I’m happy to jump on a call to talk further.
