QuickTrials’ Custom Reports
Subscription add-on
Introduction
This document describes the Custom Reports add-on that can be added to a QuickTrials subscription to create beautiful-looking, tailored reports for your field trials.
What are custom reports?
Custom reports help you to present important trial data to stakeholders, in a way that is easy and effective. You can choose what information is included in a report and the level of detail to be displayed. QuickTrials then generates a professional report at the click of a button saving hours of work.
When should I use reports?
Custom reports can be used any time you want to keep managers, stakeholders, or customers informed about a trial or trial result. The most common scenarios are:
- Trials in progress – Showing the design and progress of a trial. These reports typically present the experimental design details, sites utilised, staff involved, monitoring charts that summarise the data captured so far, and the overall trial progress in terms of the number of observations collected along with the number of observations still remaining.
- Completed trials – When a trial has been completed and verified, a report can be generated to present the trial details and analysis. This can include ANOVA statistics, scatter plots, interaction charts, bar charts, photos/videos, etc from whichever traits you would like to present.
Types of reports
There are two main types of reports depending on how you would like to view the information.
Interactive reports – The report is presented on an interactive web page that lets users click around and view the information most important to them. A “Sharing link” can be created to easily share this type of report with more people when desired.
Downloadable reports – A Microsoft Word document is generated with the selected trial data and downloaded to the user’s machine. Users can then edit the document if they want to include more details or comments related to the trial. The Word file or generated PDF can then be shared with other people as needed.
Configuring a report
When a report is created the user can select what type of information they would like to have included (Eg. experimental design, sites, staff, and specific traits), and to what level of detail.
Viewing reports
Users can view a report by clicking on the Reports tab and executing the report they would like to see.

Who can utilise reports?
Reports are created and managed by report administrators, and then executed by regular QuickTrials users that have access to a trial. Below are the main roles that are applicable for reports:
- Report Administrators. Can add reports to trials, create sharing links and define templates for styling.
- QuickTrials User. Can run reports to view interactive reports, download them and share reports links (if link sharing has been enabled for a particular report)
- Non-QuickTrials User. Can view a report that has been shared to them via a sharing link or sent as a word document or PDF.
Branding reports with your logo
Reports can include your company’s logo and style, so it matches your corporate branding. This allows you to share trial reports that reinforce your company’s brand in a positive way without any extra effort.
Benefits
Some of the key benefits of QuickTrials’ custom reports are:

- Templates can be used to create a particular style for reports that matches your corporate branding.
- Reports can be easily tailored to show more or less details depending on the user’s needs.
