The Reports section in the Navigation Bar allows you access SourceLink℠ predefined reports, create your own and subscribe to reports.
All reports can be viewed on your screen, saved to your local computer, printed on a local printer, or sent to another person as an email attachment. In addition, SourceLink’s report engine can extract client data to an Excel spreadsheet for ad-hoc work.
Note: If a report includes a phone number, this is the primary phone number indicated in the client record.
Five choices under Reports:
- Report Listing
- EDMIS Batches/Reports
- Report Subscriptions
- Scout Reports
- Social Analytics
Report Listing
SourceLink currently has more than 70 reports. To make it easier to find the report you want, the reports have been divided into categories of content.
The categories are:
| AD (Administrative) | EX (Extraction) |
| BA (Business Analysis) | FM (Blank SBA Forms) |
| CL (Clients) | RF (Referrals) |
| CS (Client Scout) | SB (SBA Related) |
| EV (Events) | SV (Survey) |
The reports screen lists all reports and a description to each report. If a report requires Parameters, those are listed. Click a report name to launch that report in a new window.
Show Types—The list can be filtered by clicking one of the buttons.
The screen show below show BA415, Client NAICS Category Analysis for January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022.
Note: at the top of the report, the start and end dates are listed. You can change the date parameters and click View Report.
It is very important to understand that SourceLink reports always (except for select custom reports like the BA420) use 12AM of the date selected. For instance, if you want a full calendar year of data, you must select 1/1/2021 to 1/1/2022 to ensure that activity that happened during the day of December 31st, 2021 is included.
The next line indicates how many pages are in the report. Use the single arrow keys to move between pages. Use the double arrow keys to move to the first page or the last page.
The dropdown menu gives you the choice of saving the report in several different formats.
