Activity report - view actions taken towards Shared Outcomes and Shared Indicators
Document view report - view full plan
Subgroup Action Plan Reporting

Performance Reporting
Performance reporting is the main report you produce to view the overall performance of your organisation or project. This report pulls in information from all Shared Indicator or Shared Outcome that has been adopted into either a subgroup or stakeholder plan, as well as any information added directly into the Shared Indicator or Shared Outcome in the Ecosystem Plan. This allows you to on alignment and progress across all plans that are monitoring the Shared Indicators.
To produce this report, open the Ecosystem Centre, select Performance Reports once the Ecosystem Centre dashboard has loaded and you will see two buttons: Mindmap Overview and Report Editor.
Mind Map Overview will show you a view of your Ecosystem plan with the main focus of highlighting which Shared Indicators are attached to which specific Shared Outcomes and which action plans have adopted the Shared Indicators. On the right-hand-side of the page you can select which Shared Outcome you would like to view. This functions as filtering, similar to being able to filter the mindmap by a sustainable principle in other plans.
Report Editor is where you go to create your Ecosystem Performance Report. Selecting Report Editor will take you to a document view of your ecosystem plan, but you have added features: Filter Report and Manage Reports.
Filtering Report is where you go to create a more tailored report before selecting Generate Report. Once the filtering has opened up you have the option of creating different reports that are most useful to you.
Filtering includes:
By Sub-group
By Sustainable Principle
By Shared Outcome
By Shared Indicator
Choose what additional data you would like included
Options could be creating a report which focuses on one principle across all departments or more specifically one Shared Indicator across all subgroups but only includes Progress in the additional data to focus the report on the use of the Progress/Traffic light bar and relevant updates.
Things to remember are
to select your preferred lens before opening up the filtering
set the date for the time period you would like the report to focus on
Manage Reports is where reports are stored once they have been generated. Reports are stored here until they are deleted. They can be easily deleted as necessary. A report should not take more than two minutes to be created. If that is not the case, please get in touch with us and we will investigate.
Activity Reports
Activity Reports also have the options of Mind map Overview and Report Editor.
Mindmap Overview shows you which projects have adopted which Shared Outcomes and which Shared Indicators and allows you to see this
per Outcome.
Report Editor allows you to create a report pulling in all information that has been linked to an adopted Shared Indicator in any sub-group or
stakeholder plan – this allows you to see and track all of the Actions that are being implemented across a project.
To put this another way, when a Shared Indicator or Shared Outcome is adopted into a plan, and then another Node (Action, Indicator or
Outcome) is linked to that Shared Indicator or Shared Outcome, all of that information is pulled into the report. This can quickly become a lot
of information so this is mostly used for generating reports on current activity relating to specific Shared Indicators or Outcomes – though
any parameters can be set.
This report also gives you the option to filter, thereby creating a report which is most impactive to you and your needs for a particular meeting. Generated reports will be saved in the Manage Reports section.
