Grid reports are created by the SELMA team, on request, and allow you to fetch data from multiple records which cannot be done by the Report Builder.

  • Note: The Report Builder allows you to create your own report, but it is limited in the number of base entities it can handle.

If the Grid Report you require should include complex calculations, as the data isn't directly available in SELMA, the development required would need to be scoped and quoted.
