Summary Reports in ClearPoint make it easy to review and update key data in one place. Instead of navigating to each element’s detail page, you can edit multiple fields—such as status, owner, and analysis—directly from the report view.


Best of all, any changes made in a Summary Report automatically sync with the element’s detail page—no double editing required.


Edit Data Inline

You can edit data directly from the report.

  1. From the left navigation, click Reports.

  2. Navigate to the Measures page.

  1. Open the Summary Report you want to work with.

  2. Double-click in any editable cell (for example, Status, Analysis, or Recommendations).

  3. Enter your updates.

  4. Click Save.

  1. From the left navigation, click Reports.

  2. Choose the report category for the element type you want to edit — for example, Objective Reports, Measure Reports, or Initiative Reports.

  3. Locate the report in the list.

    • Use the Search bar or Filters at the top to find it quickly.

  1. Click the kebab menu (⋮) and select Edit Report.

  1. The Edit Report drawer opens on the right side of the screen.

  2. Make your updates as needed:

    • Report tab – Change the report name, type, table style, or access settings.

    • Columns tab – Add, remove, or reorder columns and adjust formatting.

    • Elements tab – Select which Scorecards or specific elements to include.

    • Filters tab – Apply criteria such as Status or Owner to narrow results.

  3. Click Save to apply your changes.

💡 Edits made here update instantly for all users who can access the report—no need to recreate or re-export.


Ordering Summary Reports

ClearPoint allows you to reorder how Summary Reports appear in dropdown menus.
This helps users keep frequently accessed reports—like dashboards or alignment matrix—at the top for quick navigation.

  1. On the Manage Reports page, click and drag a report to change its position in the list.

  2. Drop the report in its new position.

  3. Click Save.

💡 Use drag-and-drop ordering to prioritize key reports by audience—like leadership, departments, or project teams.
