Reports for Redmine · RedminePRO Docs

Q: No Reports in the top menu.

The account holds Use reports in no role.

Redmine already has a good query builder, on the Issues page, the Spent time page and the Projects page. What it has no way to do is keep one as a named report you re-run on the first of the month, hand to somebody as a branded PDF, or have arrive by email every Monday. Reports does that by reusing those three builders rather than inventing a fourth: the filter row here is the filter row from the Issues page, so a relative date like "this month" means the month you press Run in.

What you can do

Availability: Business and above.
Permissions: It behaves as a workspace-wide capability: holding it in any role in any project means "this person builds reports", because a report spans whatever projects its filters reach and so does not belong to one.
Settings: Scheduled delivery is off until you switch it on, so adding Reports to a workspace never starts sending mail to anybody.
Building a report: Reports in the top menu → New report, then pick the data: Issues, Spent time or Projects.
Running and exporting: Opening a report evaluates its filters afresh.
Templates: A report can be published as a Template.
Scheduled delivery: With Scheduled delivery switched on, a report can carry a schedule, Weekly on a weekday or Monthly on a day of the month, at an hour, delivering the PDF and the Excel file to people and groups you name.
On My Dashboard: With My Dashboard 1.2.5 or newer in the workspace, a Saved report widget shows the report you last ran, its totals, its first ten rows, and a link to run it in full.

Common questions

No Reports in the top menu.

Reports opens on a page about plans.

The workspace is below Business. The page names the plan it needs rather than hiding the feature.

A colleague sees fewer rows than I do in the same report.

That is correct. A report shows each reader what that reader may see; compare the two counts printed on the page.
