- Enter the user name in the search box, and click to edit.
- Enter the user's business roles and set security permissions to allow access to reports.

See Configure Business Roles and Security Permissions for more information.
Report types
There are four different types of reports in Bp Omni. Use the search bar to find a report or select a report from the menu options.
Access to all report types is granted to users who have the security roles of Owner, Administrator, or Practice Manager. Users with less privileged security roles will only be able to see My Reports and Public Reports.
My reports |
My reports are only viewable by the user who saved them. They are reports that have been saved from either Preset or Public reports. They are not available publicly. My reports can be created by users without administration permissions by saving a public report, and by users with administration permissions by saving a public, Preset report. My reports can be deleted. |
Public reports |
Public Reports are reports that have been saved from Preset reports, and have been made public when saved. Public reports are available to users without administration permissions, and can be deleted. |
Preset reports |
Preset reports are a collection of reports created by Best Practice Software. Preset report categories include:
Only administrators can view Preset reports. |
Summary reports |
Summary reports are available for Invoices and Payments. Table data cannot be customised or saved into My reports. |
Report management
Filtering and customisable table options can be applies and saved for Preset, Public and My reports. The filtering options available will depend on which report is used.
A timestamp of when the report data was last updated can be found in the bottom left corner of the Reports screen.
Two options are available for selecting a date range for reports in Bp Omni. You can select a From and a To date, or you can choose a Standard range, for example, the last three calendar months.
The Standard range is relative to the current date. For example, if it is mid-August and you set the standard range to the last calendar month, the report will show data for July. If you go back and run the report again in mid September, the report will show data for August, without the need to change any date settings.
If you choose a standard range, the From and To dates will change to reflect the dates that are included in the Standard range.
You can modify the columns that are included in a report based on your requirements.
NOTE Only administrators can add new columns to reports. Table data cannot be customised for Summary reports.
- Click Customise table on the right-hand side of report. The Customise table screen will appear.
- To add new columns to the report, drag an option from the Hidden Columns section on the left into the Active Columns section on the right.
- To remove columns, drag an option from the Active Columns section into the Hidden Columns section.
- You can also drag an option into the Group by section to group rows related to these columns together.
- Click Apply to implement your changes in the report.
The available column options will differ depending on the type of report you are using.
TIP Mac users must double click the column name instead of using the drag and drop function to move columns.
Further filtering options can be accessed by hovering your cursor over filter or table headings.

Public and My reports
Filtering and customised table options applied to a Preset report can be saved to:

Public reports can also be restricted so that the provider accessing the report can only see information relevant to them.
- Click Save As or click the down arrow beside Save and select Save a copy . The New report screen will appear.
- Enter a Report name.
- Tick or untick the Public checkbox:
- If you only want the report to be available to you, ensure Public is unticked and click Save. The saved report will appear in the My reports section.
- If you want the report to be available to other staff members, tick Public. If the report contains appointment, billing, or payment information, the Row Visibility menu will appear.
- If the Row Visibility menu appears, select whether the person viewing the report will be able to see all rows, or just the rows related to the logged in provider.
- Click Save. The saved report will appear in the Public Reports section or the My reports section depending on which option was selected.
