When a standard report and a pivot still are not enough — write the query yourself.
Every company eventually has a report so specific that no pivot or standard report configuration covers it. TrackElan’s SQL Report Designer lets a technical user — an analyst, a power user, an implementation partner — write a query directly against the documented data model and publish it as a report inside the system, complete with parameters and role-based access.
That report becomes a first-class citizen of the platform: schedulable, exportable, and governed by the same security model as everything else, instead of living as an ungoverned script on someone’s laptop.
Cover the reporting edge cases no standard report or pivot handles
Govern custom reports with the same security model as the rest of the system
Stop custom reports from living as ungoverned scripts on someone’s machine
Avoid paying for a separate enterprise report-writer product
