Creating custom reports

A Report in Unifize displays your records (e.g., CAPAs, NCRs, Change Controls) in a tabular, filterable format. Reports help you sort, customize, and export live data for operational tracking, audits, and reviews.


Key Capabilities

  • Customize Columns: Choose which fields appear in the report

  • Filter by Fields: Narrow down the data shown based on values like status, owner, group, etc.

  • Save and Reuse: Save your custom views as reports for easy access later

  • Export to CSV: Download your report for offline use or external sharing


Steps to Create a Report

  • Click on Manage View

  • Navigate to any Processes (e.g., Non-Conformance, CAPA)


  • Click Customize View

  • Select or deselect fields you want to show or hide

  • Drag and drop columns to reorder them

  • Click Apply


3. Apply Filters

  • Use the field headers to apply filters (e.g., Status = Open, Type = Internal)

  • Most field types (status, dropdowns, numbers) are filterable

  • Text fields are not filterable


4. Save as Report

  • Click Save As (top right)

  • Enter a descriptive name for your report

  • The saved report will automatically update in real time

You can now share the saved report by sending the shared link to colleagues who have access to Unifize.


Best Practices for Creating Reports

  • Use clear report names: Example – “Internal Open NCRs – April 2025”

  • Keep reports focused: Include only necessary fields to avoid clutter

  • Leverage filters: Create targeted views for audits, open actions, overdue tasks, etc.

  • Export regularly: Save snapshots of key reports for compliance or monthly reviews


By creating reports in Unifize, you make it easier to monitor processes, track progress, and stay audit-ready — all from one place.
