# Project Reports

Project reports give you summary views across your projects, customers, and employees. Use them to see the big picture -- which projects are active, which customers have the most work, and where your workforce is deployed.

## How It Works

These reports aggregate data from across your projects to answer common questions:

* **How many active projects do I have and what are they worth?**
* **Which customers have the most work in progress?**
* **Where are my employees working this week?**

Unlike the job cost or WIP reports that focus on financials, project reports focus on operational summaries that help you plan and manage your workload.

## Steps

### Project Summary Report

1. Go to **Reports** and select **Project Summary**.
2. Filter by **Status** (active, completed, on hold, all).
3. The report shows each project with its customer, contract value, start date, and current status.
4. Click **Export** to download.

### Customer Summary Report

1. Go to **Reports** and select **Customer Summary**.
2. The report shows each customer with:
   * Number of active projects
   * Total contract value across all projects
   * Total billed and total outstanding
3. Click on a customer to see their individual projects.
4. Click **Export** to download.

### Employee Summary Report

1. Go to **Reports** and select **Employee Summary**.
2. Select a **Date Range**.
3. The report shows each employee with:
   * Total hours worked in the period
   * Projects they worked on
   * Cost codes they were assigned to
4. Click **Export** to download.
