Custom reports using Google Docs

By Engineering SpecialOps

Just when you thought Solve360’s integration with Google Apps was reaching it’s pinnacle, we set our sights on even higher peaks. Ascending to yet another stratus to reach the summit of Google integration, we’ll demonstrate how easy it is to use Google Docs to produce useful reports directly from your Solve360 database.

Reports are immensely useful to gain perspective on trends and answer ad-hoc questions. Being able to see your data in a different light from different angles can often reveal unknown truths about your business, both good and bad, enabling you to create actionable strategies based on knowledge, rather than on instinct alone.

Solve360 has useful reports (Solve360 menu > Report & Update Activities), the ability to create lists (category tags), as well as expanded data reporting (Top view), etc. These catch most of the usual suspects, but remember those days when we hoarded data into Excel where we could slice-and-dice at will? Sure, our data wasn’t quite as dynamic and organized as it is today with the help of Solve360, but we had boundless access to cool spreadsheet features like charts, pivot tables and functions. What if we could have the best of both worlds?

Here’s a working example to demonstrate just that. Introducing Solve360’s Google Docs Reporting! A new Google Apps script that pulls your Solve360 data directly into a Google Spreadsheet where you can manipulate them as you please. Sit back and watch Mike run through a real example in the following video.
