Installation

The first step in installing Reports module is to upload it to your server. To do this, extract Reports module installation package and upload contents of /for-upload folder to your server using FTP or SFTP client. Make sure you upload this folder in your activeCollab installation folder.

Once that is done, log in to your activeCollab installation and go to Modules administration.

You will see Reports in the available modules list. Click on Install button. The module will install and create reporting data for your projects. If you have a lot of projects, this may take a while.

Once the Reports module is installed, there is one more step before we can use it.

Configuration

Permissions to Roles

Go to Administration - Roles. Edit a System Role that you want to give access to Reports module to. Check Yes on can_use_reports and Submit. All people with this role will now start seeing a Reports icon in main menu.

Scheduled Tasks

One more thing we want to confirm now is that Scheduled Tasks are working. Go to Administration - Scheduled Tasks. If you see some date / times on Daily schedule, we are set. If not, please configure Scheduled Tasks.

We are all set then. Click on Reports menu to see what you get.

I just reinstalled the reporting module and noticed that all tasks from last year until September are showing and everything else is blank.

cron is running fine…
We are running 2.0.2

Is there a reason why past 6 months are not visible?

So: Tickets earlier than September 08 are showing fine. But October 08 till now are not showing? Re-installation will always recreate entire data – from the first project till today. Could you check your snapshot table and confirm it’s taken data only till September?

Hi,
Our Reports is installed and running fine, however the icon isn’t showing in the access skin. Any suggestions?

thanks,

Doug

This was a known issue in earlier version of Access theme. The latest Access theme shows Reports icon well.

If your version does not work, refer to instructions here to fix the problem.
