Configure Aggregate Reporting Families

Before you can create an aggregate report, you must configure the product Reporting Family.

About Aggregate Reporting Families

To enable aggregate report authoring in Vault Safety, you must set up the Reporting Family. The Reporting Family defines which products and studies to include in an aggregate report and the reporting time period.

Create a Reporting Family

Note: The Base Reporting Family object type is deprecated and should not be used for aggregate reporting. We recommend that all aggregate reporting families be of the type Product Family. This recommendation applies both to creating new aggregate report tabulations and re-generating tabulations on existing aggregate reports already setup in the system.

Go to Business Admin > Objects > Reporting Families.
Select Create.
In the Create Reporting Family window, select Product Family, and then select Continue.
Complete these fields on the Create Reporting Family page.
Select Save.

Field	Description
Name	Enter a name for the product family. Note: If your organization uses Reporting Families for aggregate reporting, we recommend that product family names have a maximum of 75 characters. Longer names may impact report generation.
Organization	Select the organization that is responsible for preparing the report.
IBD	Select the international birth date (IBD) for the product family. This field is informational only, and is not used in aggregate reporting.
Reporting Period (Months)	Enter the number of months that the reporting period spans. The time period you enter in this field determines the reporting schedule the system uses to automatically generate subsequent aggregate reports when the Generate Next Aggregate Report Record action is triggered.

Add Reporting Family Members
