Reporting Overview
SLM reporting overview introduces the powerful reporting capabilities available throughout Safety Lifecycle Manager. With more than 200 out-of-the-box reports across multiple modules, users can quickly access operational, engineering, and functional safety information whenever it is needed.
Each SLM module contains its own collection of reports that can be generated on demand, exported in multiple formats, or added directly to personalised dashboards. This allows users to build reporting views that match their individual responsibilities and workflows.
This guide explains where reports are located, how to generate reports, export report data, and use reports within SLM dashboards.
