# Custom report

> Build, save, and share tailored reports with your own filters, date ranges, and source metrics.

To access: Navigate to **Admin Hub → Reports → Custom Report**.

## Viewing capabilities

Empuls lets admins, HRBPs, managers, and leaders view reports from different perspectives. This ensures every stakeholder sees insights relevant to their responsibilities.

### View as (any employee profile)

You can switch the report view to any employee profile. This helps you understand how reports and data appear from their point of view.

Use cases:

* Verify whether a user has correct visibility.
* Troubleshoot access or data issues.
* Validate manager or HRBP report experience.

### Role-based viewing

Available roles typically include:

* **Super Admin** — Full visibility across all teams, budgets, awards, and recognition activity.
* **Manager** — Sees recognition given and received within their reporting tree. Insights include team performance, participation, and gaps.
* **HRBP** — Sees data for employees mapped to their business unit or function. Useful for programme oversight, adoption tracking, and department-level insights.
* **Cost center head** — Sees recognition budgets, award usage, and adoption patterns for their cost center.

Use cases:

* Understand how different leaders see recognition and budget reports.
* Validate governance and ensure the right data is shown to the right role.
* Enable HRBPs and managers to make data-driven decisions without exposing global data.

**Why role-based viewing matters**

* **Improves governance:** Ensures sensitive data is only seen by authorised roles.
* **Builds transparency:** Managers and HRBPs get insights specific to their teams.
* **Supports accurate decision-making:** Each role sees the metrics they need most.
* **Simplifies troubleshooting:** Admins can switch views to replicate what others see.
