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:

  • Aged debtors
  • Appointment
  • Billing
  • Patient/Client
  • Payment.

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.

Report filtering options

A timestamp of when the report data was last updated can be found in the bottom left corner of the Reports screen.

Public and My reports

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

  • Public reports - Available for all users.
  • My reports - Available only to the creator.

Public reports can also be restricted so that the provider accessing the report can only see information relevant to them.

  1. Click Save As or click the down arrow beside Save and select Save a copy . The New report screen will appear.
  2. Save filtering and customisation to a new report

  3. Enter a Report name.
  4. 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.

  5. 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.
  6. Click Save. The saved report will appear in the Public Reports section or the My reports section depending on which option was selected.
