On this page, you will find information about reporting channels in Lucanet Banking & Cash Management (BCM). A reporting channel defines from which data source and with which layout BCM generates a report or a dashboard. Reporting jobs execute the reporting channels and generate the reports automatically, for example for sending by e-mail. Using schedules, you define when BCM executes the reporting jobs.
The Reporting channels workspace can be found under Banking & Cash Management | Channels | All channels | Reporting channels and is displayed as follows, for example:
