Starts when: A committee meeting is scheduled, or a reporting period has closed.
- Open Board pack, set the Reporting window to the period on the agenda and click Apply.
- Read Headline indicators: Revenue, Gross margin and Orders shipped compared with the previous period, and Overdue receivables. The Generated line shows when the figures were produced.
- On the Overview tab, read the Quarterly trend chart (Revenue, Direct costs and Gross margin per quarter) and the Orders shipped chart.
- Expand Workforce / Customer base to see Gross margin rate, On-time shipping, Top-5 revenue share and Labor cost share, the Workforce and Customer base cards, and Safety posture.
- Use the chart toolbar to export a chart as PNG or its data as CSV, or to enlarge it for projection.
- Write down the points you want to raise at the meeting.
Result: You have a complete, consistent picture of the period, with charts ready for the meeting documents.
Next: The Executive leader presents and explains the figures; send your questions to the Executive leader before or during the meeting.
