IMOS has many built-in reports that you can either run or copy and modify. You can access reports either from the module centers or by clicking  on the toolbars of various forms and lists.

In addition, there are two tools built into IMOS you can use to create and run custom reports: The Report Designer and the Report Editor (legacy).

• Report Designer: The Report Designer features a drag-and-drop interface and supports many of the same features as the legacy Report Editor. You can create and run reports with data from across the IMOS database—everything from Open Positions for Vessels to financial information. The Report Designer provides live preview, so you can see your edits in real time. In addition, the Report Designer includes features that cut down on data loading times.
• Report Editor: With the legacy Report Editor, you can create and run custom reports from an extensive list of IMOS datasets. Datasets are available for each functional area in the system: Chartering, Claims, Operations, Trading, and Financials.

Both of these reporting tools give you the flexibility to extract your data in the way that is most meaningful to you. You can apply filters, sort and group results, aggregate data, and create a custom layout for your report. The tools also have more advanced capabilities like conditional formatting and creating custom columns with custom expressions. You can even create a scheduled task from the report to automate the execution and delivery of a report on a periodic basis using the Messaging Service.

The wide variety of output options (Excel, CSV, XML, PDF, and the reporting database) give you a lot of possibilities to determine the best way to extract your data from IMOS, to facilitate decision support based on historical information.
