Plan Snapshot and Reports

Using the Snapshot dropdown to generate one-click reports — Detailed Goals, Executive Summary Lite, and At Risk Goals.

Written by James Ross

Description

The Snapshot is a dropdown menu on the Plan Detail Page that generates one-click reports built on the Dynamic Report engine. Instead of manually building a report, you select a snapshot type and get an instant view of your plan's data — ready for a leadership review, status meeting, or export.

Why Use Snapshots?

Building custom reports takes time. Snapshots give you pre-configured report templates designed for common Planner use cases — all goals in a table, KPI summary, or just the at-risk items. One click, instant report, ready to share.

Quick Steps

Generate a Snapshot Report

  • Open the plan from the Plans summary page.

  • Click the Snapshot tab in the plan header.

  • A dropdown menu appears with report options. Select the report type you need.

  • The report loads with data from the current plan.

Available Snapshot Reports

Detailed Goals

  • Generates a table of all goals belonging to the plan.

  • Uses default column layout with no filters applied.

  • Shows every goal — active, draft, completed — in a single view.

  • Use this when you need the full picture of everything in the plan.

Executive Summary Lite

  • Generates a KPI summary above the standard goal table.

  • KPI metrics include:

    • Total Goals — count of all goals in the plan.

    • Average Progress — mean progress across all active goals.

    • Overdue Goals — goals past their due date.

    • Completed Goals — goals that have been finished.

  • Use this for leadership reviews and executive-level reporting.

At Risk Goals

  • Filters goals to only those that are overdue, behind schedule, or off track.

  • Grouped by Focus Area, sorted by focus area order then due date.

  • Use this when you need to focus on what's going wrong, not what's going right.

Export Reports

  • Snapshot reports support export to PDF, CSV, and Excel.

  • Export respects the current configuration — filters, columns, sorting, and grouping are preserved.

  • Exported reports can be shared with stakeholders who don't have ProcessPro access.

Restrictions

  • Snapshot reports are plan-specific — each report shows data for the current plan only.

  • Reports are built on the Dynamic Report engine — column layout and filtering follow Dynamic Report conventions.

  • Export options depend on your organisation's ProcessPro plan.

  • Snapshot reports are generated on demand — they are not scheduled or automatically refreshed.

Important: Snapshot reports show the current state of goals at the time you generate them. They are point-in-time views, not live dashboards. For real-time monitoring, use the Dashboard Widgets for Strategic Plans or open the plan directly.
