Reporting Properties: Highlight the Right Data, in the Right Place

Reporting Properties: Highlight the Right Data, in the Right Place

A business application isn’t just meant to execute tasks — it should also produce actionable data.

With ROK, you can identify and structure the key information from each application using reporting properties.


:bullseye: What’s It For?

  • Clearly define the data you want to track or analyze (KPIs, dates, statuses, stakeholders…)
  • Expose it in dashboards, exports, or analytics
  • Create consolidated views in the user portal or monitoring modules

:gear: How Does It Work?

  • In the designer, any field or property can be marked as a reporting property
  • You define its name, type, and format
  • These properties are then easily searchable and viewable

:brain: You can:

  • Filter records using these properties in the portal
  • Display them in lists or Excel exports
  • Use them as a basis for tracking indicators

:briefcase: Real-World Examples

:small_blue_diamond: In an HR application: define “Start date”, “Contract type”, “Approval status” as reporting properties
:small_blue_diamond: In a purchase request: track “Amount”, “Processing time”, “Procurement manager”
:small_blue_diamond: In a quality process: automatically extract all “major non-conformities” with their status and deadlines


:white_check_mark: Why It’s a Game Changer

  • Your applications become natively analytical, without relying on external BI tools
  • You structure your data from the design phase
  • You turn workflows into real-time operational sensors
