When I came in this morning, Steve and Eric were talking about numerous custom reports and spreadsheet exports for certain companies. The bigger they are, the more complex some of their needs are and/or become. Tons of custom data, and even cross corp and multi corp consolidated data. They were talking about ways to make the list of corps and locations more data driven vs just code driven (we have to update the code to include the new corps and new locations - manually and then upload code again). As they were talking, I was just listening and hearing that some needs exist out there... some of those needs are: help with data entry (standardizing data entry), data clean-up (maintenance), education (specific training), better communication on needs (we are somewhat guessing what they need), data driven logic (recording lists in a database vs hardcoded on the different reports). There were also lots of new discussions about creating lists of who is connected with other corps and how to create a one-to-many list that could be data driven vs hardcoded. We talked database lists, tie-ins, page includes (just lists and variables) that get pulled into multiple reports, etc. Interesting discussion.

Lots of topics going out to grouping, filtering, exports, using data tables (being able to sub sort by column and do exports directly from reports).
