Reporting accuracy: from database to project
report
When project information resides in a database,
how can you best extract selected data for a top
level, “Big Picture” report?
With most reporting tools, you can populate the
presentation schedule by:
A manual drawing
Importing
Automation
Of these options, creating a presentation report
through a custom automation program offers many
key benefits:
100% accuracy in the report
data
Time-savings in creating the report
When project data changes, the report can be
instantly re-created
Report populated with live project data
With a programming language as simple as Visual
Basic, you can pull project details from your
database and populate a schedule report...all at
the push of a button.
NASA and United Space Alliance use Milestones
software as the reporting output for their
International Space Station flight data stored
in an Artemis database.
Their custom VB program extracts data to
instantly populate the “Big Picture” report for
the flight manager.
No more combing through hundreds of data records
to manually draw them for a report.
