About Reports

A report is a customisable and formatted document that summarises items such as issues, RFIs, forms, assets or submittals.

A report can be scheduled to run automatically on a regular cadence, exported and shared with relevant stakeholders to help construction teams maintain transparency and ensure that all aspects of a project are tracked, documented and communicated.

You can generate reports in various tools in your Autodesk Construction Cloud™ products. For example, you can export issue reports while working on projects created within Autodesk® Docs, or RFI reports when using Autodesk® Build.

Reports can also be created in the Reports tool. The tool provides a central location for Superintendents, Foremen, Architects and other project members to view, create, schedule and share reports. With Reports, project members can communicate important project data and distribute this data among the people who need it most.
