The Reports app enables you to create fully customized reports that incorporate data from across the entire NN company, not just a single farm. You decide which animals to include, which columns to show, and how to filter and sort the data. You can export reports as Excel or CSV files, making it easy to analyze or share insights with external parties, such as veterinarians, or consultants. They can view relevant data and generate insights, without having to make any changes in Nedap Now.

This article shows how to create a report. Sample reports are provided in Report Examples.
