What Is the Reporting Hub?
Simply put, the Reporting Hub enables you to get expert support and consultation from a Camms Virtual Reporting Agent (VRA) who can help you free up time for the things that matter to you. A VRA can take on a variety of tasks related to the production of reporting/dashboarding outputs using a range of tools and technologies. They can develop brand new outputs as well as modify existing ones and even help you with administration and scheduling.

- VRAs can also help you with repetitive administrative tasks related to reporting via Camms.Insights such as:
- Setting up schedules for the automated delivery of your reports.

Types of Reports/Dashboards
Camms offers a number of different ways in which reports and dashboards can be produced from the system and your VRA can assist you with any of them.
Camms Standard Reports & Dashboards
These are the standard out-of-the-box reports and dashboards pre-built into the respective Camms Solution. Your VRA can help you understand how to use these reports or configure these dashboards as desired. If a standard report needs to be customised, they can help you with that as well.
Note: Camms Standard Reports are built using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) which can be fully customised. Camms Standard Dashboards are less customisable, however, some can be reconfigured to best match your requirements.
Standard Microsoft Power BI Dashboard Apps
These are the standard out-of-the-box Power BI dashboards pre-built for the respective Camms Solution. Your VRA can help you understand how to install these dashboards within your organisation, point them to your own data and customise them as desired.
Note: Your organisation should have purchased Camms.Connect and hold a Microsoft Power BI Premium License to make this work.
Camms.Connect
These connectors can be used to visualise Camms data within any existing data visualisation tools used by your organisation that supports API as a data source e.g. Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, etc. Your VRA can guide or train you on connecting data sources and dashboard design or develop bespoke dashboards for you.
Camms.Engage
This solution allows your Camms data to be presented in a user friendly, customer branded website format – beneficial when presenting to stakeholders such as the Board, Executive team or even your community (public). Your VRA can assist with dashboard configuring and publishing as well as providing training on how to do it yourself.
Camms.Insights
This solution allows business users to construct simple ad-hoc reports and dashboards using easy drag-and-drop functionality which can be exported to a variety of formats. These may also be scheduled and distributed at defined frequencies to different audiences. Your VRA can assist with report/dashboard design or develop bespoke dashboards for you. They can also provide training on how to design these yourself.
Camms Custom Report Uploader
This add-on enables your organisation’s report developers to create their own Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports and upload them to the respective Camms Solutions. Your VRA can provide guidance on the Camms Data Model and table structures which will allow your own technical report developers to carry out this report design/upload for you.
Remember, our VRAs can help you create reports and dashboards using data from any Camms solution, including Camms.Project, Camms.Strategy and Camms.Risk.
The Reporting Hub has helped us standardise reports and move away, as much as we can, from spreadsheets and word documents now that we’ve got all the project information in a centralised location. The information is now readily available in the form of reports to key decision makers.
