# Report Builder Overview

**Report Builder** in EnrollNow helps teams create custom reports using global and study-specific participant and event data. Use it to review trends, summarize information, and track study activities.

Unlike the **Export tool**, which provides raw data, Report Builder allows you to group, filter, sort, and analyze data within EnrollNow before exporting results.

#### **Permissions and Access**

Users with **Site Admin** or **Site Manager** permissions can build and share reports. Other users can run reports shared with them.

**Study Permissions** determine which data each user can view. Sharing a report does not grant access to additional studies or restricted data.

### **How Report Builder Differs from the Export Tool**

| Feature | **Report Builder** | **Export Tool** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Data Type | Grouped summaries | Raw participant data |
| Analysis | Built-in filters, sorting, and pivoting | Requires external spreadsheet tools |
| Use Case | Trends, summaries, data slices | Full data review or backup |
| Format | Interactive table | Flat file export |

#### **Accessing Report Builder**

- Click the **Homepage icon** to the left of the **Select Study** drop-down.
- Open the **Report Builder** tab, and start building.

### **Dimensions**

**Dimensions** organize report data into categories, such as participant demographics, study information, events, recruitment information, and custom variables. Each selected dimension appears as a column.

You can use dimensions alone to display values or combine them with measures to show counts by category.

**Learn more: [Understanding Dimensions in Report Builder](https://support.enrollnow.io/en/knowledge-base/understanding-report-builder-dimensions?hsLang=en)** 

### **Measures**

**Measures** are optional numeric values that count records. Available measures include **Participant Count**, **Participant Event Count**, **Global Contact Log Count**, and **Study Contact Log Count**.

Use a measure alone to display a total or combine it with dimensions to break the count into categories. Study-specific counts are limited by your study access.

### **Filters**

**Filters** narrow results using specific values, conditions, or date ranges without adding columns to your report.

#### **Date Filters and Time Grouping**

Date filters are now available under the **Filter** option. Apply up to **five date filter configurations** per report, using preset or custom date ranges.

Choose **one time-grouping interval**, such as day, week, or month, to organize results over time.

### **Sorting**

**Sorting** arranges report rows by a selected dimension or measure. Choose ascending or descending order to organize results alphabetically, chronologically, or numerically.

### **Pivoting**

**Pivoting** moves fields between rows and columns to help compare categories side by side. It requires at least two dimensions and changes only the on-screen layout; exports retain the standard tabular structure.

### **Saving, Sharing, and Exporting**

Save reports for reuse and share them with users in your EnrollNow account. Each user’s permissions control the data they can view.

Export results in **CSV** or **JSON** format for external use. CSV files can be opened in Excel.
