ICM provides a number of out-of-the-box reports that have been strategically articulated to cater specific business needs. They provide an insight to different entities, states and progress of your Agreements, Clauses and Templates so that you can take necessary actions. They enable you make informed decisions by analyzing processes, cycle times, deviations, risks (expiry, renewal, actions pending, and so on.) and SLA’s at each level of an Agreement. Using the right filters to generate vital Reports provides clarity, allows you to correlate functionalities, and improve response time. Such information is valuable to the organization and has a positive impact on your business. It helps you identify future direction, improve performance, mitigate risk and increase revenue.
In ICM, Reports have been grouped based on their usage into Admin, Legal and Compliance, and Workflow for ease-of-use. You can view only those Reports that you are authorized to. You can either view all Reports together or you have the option to filter the reports based on the grouping, using the drop-down or the tabs. You can access individual Reports by clicking them and providing filters for each of them based on your specific requirement.
Reports are now enhanced to be displayed as per the language selected in the Locale Settings in the User Preferences. These reports are driven on the basis of user profile Language settings.
You also have the option to export the Reports to Excel, CSV or PDF formats.
In this section, let us understand ICM Reports in detail.
Reports are mainly divided into 2 groups:
1. Default Reports: ICM provides a number of out-of-the-box Reports that have been strategically designed to cater to specific business needs. Although these Reports are default, the user will only be able to view the Reports that they are authorized to. Based on their usage, these Reports are displayed on the Agreement Details page or the Report tile.
2. Custom Reports: Customized Reports may be deployed in ICM based on the requirements of the customer by editing default reports or by creating entirely new custom reports or by deploying reports provided by the customer. These reports are customized for a customer based on their requirement.
Here is the list and a brief description of Reports in ICM.
Reports that are available on different tabs of the Reports tile are further categorized into three groups:
Reports that are Agreement specific are available on the Agreement Details page.
To change the localization settings of a report:
1. Select Preferences to view your preferences. The My Preferences window opens.
2. Click Locale Settings to view the options.
3. Select Language to choose a language that you would like to view the report in.
4. Select the Time Zone, Date Format and Time Format options for the drop-down list for the selected language.
5. Click Save to save your options.
6. Click the Reports tab.
7. Select the report that you want to view.
8. Click the chart to view the details of the selected report.
The report columns will be displayed based on the selected filters.
With th7.9 release, all reports now display the Date and Time in the Time Zone set by the user in User Preferences.
Previously, all date related columns and parameters in all ICM reports were displayed in the UTC Time Zone in the mm/dd/yyyy format. This led to a discrepancy with the dates displayed in ICM which were as per the locale settings in the user preferences. With this release, all reports will also display the Date and Time as per the Time Zone set by the user in the user preferences.
However, the following points need to be noted:
Earlier, only few reports were available on the Dashboard as KPI.
Now, the user can also add the following reports as KPI tiles (through Security Groups) for user accessibility:
For example, the Signature Type Report KPI depicts the percentage of electronic signature in ICM. If the number of electronic signatures is 6 and the number of manual signatures is 83, then the KPI is calculated as 6/83+6 = 6/89 (total number of agreements). Therefore, the percentage of electronic signatures is 6 (which is the number displayed on the KPI tile on the Dashboard).
Other reports that available KPIs on the Dashboard include:
