How to combine several reports into one ?

Today, we need 4 separated reports in order to retrieve all the project information which is needed for some governance meetings:

  • One based on pm_project table to get the project state, status and some attributes
  • One based on the project_status table to get the last updated one for the project (1 record/ project)
  • One based on the issue table to get the critical and last updated one for the project (1 record / project)
  • One based on the decision table to get the critical and last updated one for the project (1 record / project)

Is there a way to combine the four SNOW PPM reports into one in order to get a report with 1 record per project with all the related information ?

I know that the standard reports are based on one table. But is there a workaround using database views for example?

Thanks

Hi,

Single Report cannot be created from different tables. However you can create dashboards and add various reports from various tables to see it in a single dashboard view.

Please mark the answer as correct/helpful if it works.

Thanks Maharshi, The objective is to get the information into an Excel file (1 line by project). So, not sure the Dashboard is the solution. Correct ? Regards Jean-Paul

Using Explore Analytics, you can use a formula called Lookup() in a list view to pull a column from another table. So for example, you can create a report on the project table (pm_project) and then use Lookup() to pull a column from the other three tables, which would show up in one report.

A video on the feature is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QJJ0GqlnLU&ab_channel=ExploreAnalytics

Thanks a lot. Very interesting and useful. What is the link between the "Reports view /run" module in PPM and this Explore Analytics ? I was looking at a combine report created via the "Reports view / run" feature. Thanks and sorry if my question is silly
