Settings Reports

Use the Settings Reports tool to generate and view organizational structure and persona-based reports. Authorized users can then use these reports to provide information to auditors on Encompass users and their level of access within the application. Organization reports map and display information from the Organization/Users setting. Persona-based settings reports display and map information from the Personas setting.

After the reports are created, you can view report details, re-run reports, and search for reports using filters. Reports with Completed Status can be opened and then saved onto your computer. Authorized users can delete, cancel their reports and/or reports created by others. You can also view report logs that display information such as who created the report, when it was created, and the request type.

ClosedOrganization-Based Reports

To Create an Organization-Based Report:

  1. On the menu bar, click Encompass, and then click Settings.

  2. In the left panel, click System Administration, and then click Settings Reports.

  3. In the Search for Reports panel, click the New icon.

  4. In the Generate Settings Report window, Choose Report Type dropdown field, verify that Organization is selected by default.

  5. In the Choose Organization panel, click the + (plus) sign to expand your organization structure, and then click to select the organization for which you want to create the report.

  6. Go to the Select Report Options panel.
    • In the Report Name field, type the name of the field.

    • Select the Include Subordinate Organizations checkbox if you want to include data from the sub-organizations in the report. When this checkbox is selected, data from each sub-organization is displayed in individual tabs in the spreadsheet.

    • Select one or both of the following options to create a report with Organization Details and/or Organization Licenses settings information:
      • Organization Details - When you select this, information from the Organization Details window for the selected organization is displayed, one tab per selected organization/sub-organization, in your spreadsheet. (To view the Organization Details window go to Encompass > Settings > Company/User Setup > Organization/Users, select the organization, and then click the Edit icon.)

      • Organization Licenses - When you select this, License information from the Organization Details window for the selected organization is displayed, one tab per selected organization/sub-organization, in your spreadsheet.

      • User Details by Organization - When you select this, information from the User Details panel for the selected organization is displayed, one tab per selected organization/sub-organization, in your spreadsheet.

The naming convention for the tabs is [Organization Name]_UserDtls, where Organization Name is the name of the organization. If your organization name includes special characters, they will not be included in the report tab name. For example, organizations with names such as RegionA_Branch2/3 will be displayed as RegionA_Branch23_UserDtls in your Settings report. The organization name length is truncated at 22 characters. If duplicate tab names are created (due to the truncation), the organization name will be truncated after 19 characters with a #XX numbering scheme suffix.

RECOMMENDATION: Including the User Details by Organization option and choosing the Include Subordinate Organizations results in substantially large report sizes, especially if there are more than 1000 organizations and the report is being generated from the top most organization in the hierarchy. It is strongly recommended that such reports are created during off peak hours.

NOTE: To view User Details, go to Encompass Settings > Company/User Setup > Organization/Users > select the organization, go to the Enabled Users panel in the lower part of the window, and then click the Edit icon.

  • All User Licenses - When you select this, information for all users associated with your organization are displayed in a single tab of your spreadsheet.

  • Exclude Disabled Users - When you select this, only users Enabled logins are included in your report.

  • Include Disabled Users - When you select this, users with Enabled and Disabled logins are included in your report.
