Report Builder lets you compose custom reports and board packs from the building blocks already in Novaplan: metrics, tables, charts, and commentary. Every metric is bound to the Metrics Center, so a number means the same thing here as everywhere else.

​
What You Can Build

  • A monthly board pack that refreshes on your real numbers each cycle.
  • A department review with the KPIs that team actually cares about.
  • A recurring management report you regenerate every period.

​
How It Works

1

Start a report

Begin from a blank report, or ask Nova to draft a layout from a plain-language description of what you want.
2

Add blocks

Drop in metric cards, tables, and charts. Every metric binds to the Metrics Center, so numbers stay consistent with the rest of the platform.
3

Add commentary

Write the narrative around the numbers so the report reads as a finished document, not just a grid.
4

Share and regenerate

Generate the report and share it. Regenerating refreshes it against current data.

​
Block Types

​
Common Questions

Yes. Blocks are bound to live metrics and data, so regenerating the report pulls current numbers rather than a frozen snapshot.
Yes. Both read the same Metrics Center definition, so the figure is identical wherever it appears.
Yes. Describe the report you want and Nova proposes a layout you can then refine block by block.
A Brief is a generated variance story with a fixed structure. Report Builder is a flexible canvas you compose yourself for recurring packs.

​
If the Numbers Look Off

  • If a metric card reads blank, confirm the metric exists in the Metrics Center and is bound to a source; an unbound metric cannot produce a value.
  • If a table total looks wrong, check the block’s filter scope before assuming the data is wrong.
Need a one-off slice instead of a recurring pack? Build it in Data Explorer, then bring the view into a report once it is right.
