Designing & customizing reports

Sectona platform provides features to design new reports from existing datasets or even customize an existing report available.

PAM Reports are designed to mention details, define data points, modify parameters and visualize the data put on that report. You can select filters directly against reporting data, leveraging the capabilities of visualization, and can create tables, charts and graphs to manipulate the output for an effective presentation.
