REPORT WIZARD

Report Wizard main page

Report Wizard has been created to replace in the future Custom Flights List report. The main aim was to allow quick & easy creating & storing various type of reports in one page (crew flight times, aircraft block hours, fuel usage, PAX data, etc….).

Each created and saved report can be edited and re-arranged in many ways. Leon users can decide what columns should get displayed in the report and in what order, they can choose period of time for each report and name each report the way they want.

Report Wizard is available in a section Reports, at the top of the drop-down list. All saved reports can be found in general Report Wizard page.

The main page is divided into 3 sections:

1. Upper part of the Wizard page shows all created & saved reports by an operator. They can be edited & amended.

2. Lower part of the page shows reports made available by Leon - they can not be deleted by an operator.

3. Right part of the Wizard shows long-term reports (for time-range longer than 92 days), which can be downloaded to Excel or PDF file (and then eventually deleted).

You can type a report's name into a 'My reports' field to search for a particular report, or use 'Category' drop-down box.

If Leon user tries to view a report for an aircraft, which he/she has no access to (defined in Privileges panel), Leon will show a warning as on below screenshot:


Creating & editing reports

Creating a report in a Report Wizard panel in Leon

To create a new report click icon at the bottom and you will see the pop-up window where you can choose a scope according to which the report should be created, as well as select one of a report's category: OPS, Crew, Flight Statistics, MX, Reports for Authorities, Sales & Custom.

Each scope contains a different set of columns which is generated from different parts of Leon. More information about each scope is available further on this page.

After choosing the scope, the report page will open. On the left-hand side, you can find a filter with available data items, which - when marked - create columns in the report. Used items turn from into

You can use a field 'Search' to quickly find the desired item. You can also add items by dragging & dropping the item from the filter straight into the 'Columns' bar.

Personal reports

Visibility of the saved reports in Wizard

Each Leon user who has the access to the Wizard Report is now able to create and save a report to which no other user will have access.

After creating the report, right next to the field where the report can be named/renamed there is a checkbox - if it's marked, that report will be visible ONLY to the user who has created it - no other user will see it, unless the checkbox is unmarked.

If the checkbox is unmarked all users will see the report and will be able to view it BUT will not be able to make changes to it (SAVE button will be inactive).

On the main Wizard Report page, in a column Visibility each user can check which reports have been enabled to all users (indication 'Company') and which ones are blocked (indication 'Only me').

Scope 'Flights' allows creating reports with the data pulled from OPS section.

This includes most of the data from flight servicing tabs such as Checklist, Flight, PAX, FW&JL, etc. It also includes data from MX sections, such the aircraft serial number along with each engine serial number and each engine TAH & TAC.

This scope allows creating very complex reports with a lot of data.

You can also create such report per a client and it can be displayed as i.e. 'bar' type or 'line' type (see screenshots). Here you can decide about the width & the height of the bars/lines as well as about the colour of the border and the background (choose borderColor and backgroundColor).


Sharing reports

Sharing tool in Report Wizard

By Clicking and entering the short name of the report, Leon will generate a link, which when inserted into the web address belt of the browser, will download the csv file with the content of the report.

The link is constant - it doesn't change until it's removed. However, the data you get by using it is variable - you will always get the refreshed data, according to the report's time-range setting.

The functionality is mainly aimed at Customers who wish to export data from Leon to various BI systems including Google Data Studio and Qlik.
