In addition to the standard live tables in the i-lign database, customers with inhouse installations of i-lign have access to summary tables.

Summary tables contain denormalised (grouped) data. They do not have the same level of complex joins and business rules as the live database tables, so are more suitable for querying for creating custom reports.

Clients can write and maintain custom reports using a third party reporting tool (such as BusinessObjects). The most recent database model is available for database administrators for reference.

Refreshed Daily

The summary tables are refreshed daily, and contain a snapshot of the information (for projects only) that was current at the time of the refresh. The refresh is carried out automatically, at the same time as the budget refresh.

Hosted instances

Clients using hosted instances of i-lign can produce extract reports using the Extract Reports function (click Reports in the top navigation bar, then the Extract Reports tab). All extracts share a common column, ‘project_id’, thus allowing them to be merged.
