Set Statements report parameters
Before generating a statement, define the data you want to include by setting the following parameters:
Name your statement: Choose a "Name" for your statement that will help you refer to it internally and externally.
Report Type: Select the "Type" field to choose the "reporting template" that structures your data.
Fiscal Periods: In the "Fiscal Period" field, select the reporting periods you want to include. Note: Include multiple periods to include meaningful comparisons of your activities and impact.
Asset Group (Optional): If you want to generate a statement specifically for an "asset group" that you have created in your Asset List, you can simply select the desired group from the options in the Group drop-down menu. Note: If left blank, the report will include all data in your account.
Period Type: Choose which part of the year you want to include: Full Year (default), Half-Year, Specific Fiscal Quarter.
Currency and Currency Scaling: Select the currency in which financial values will be displayed. Choose how values are presented (e.g., thousands, millions, or billions).
Base Year (Reference Only): Displays your organization's reference year. You can adjust the base year in System Settings.
This structured process ensures that you obtain accurate and relevant sustainability data for reporting and strategic analysis.
