A report presents your data in a specified format and layout. You can design the report template that you want using the iReport Designer integrated into IMSMANG. It can then be printed or produced in PDF format. Starting from IMSMANG v6.0, the printing from inside IMSMANG is also implemented via iReport.

A report is designed to run on your dataset by selecting a target category such as land, activities or organisations. A report target can be narrowed to a saved search.

Frequently used reports can be saved. Saved reports will always use the current data when they are launched. You can access your saved reports from the IMSMA Navigation window menu bar for Reports.

Additionally, the IMSMA saved searches functionality can be used to narrow down the data presented in a report. Two steps are required for producing a report from IMSMANG:
