Introduction to Changepoint SA Reports

The Changepoint SA Reports interface has multiple options for creating and running reports to get information on virtually all aspects of your Changepoint data. Depending on your Changepoint role and the permissions you have been given, you can view reports, copy them to a private folder, create new reports, and edit existing reports.

In most cases, you create reports using Changepoint Analytics. You can

• include charts and graphs in your reports

• create easy-to-read graphics that quickly give you and others the information you need
