The Pro team is excited to begin work on Reports for a future release. We would love to get some input as to what our users' needs are in regards to functionality and appearance. If you frequently make reports and would like to send us a sanitized (no sensitive data) report, please email arajendran@esri.com.
I look forward to hearing from you all!
This is good news. I work for Freeport-McMoRan an Enterprise user of ESRI products. I would really like the Wizard for the reporting tool to have better default templates than ArcMap. It seemed like ArcMap forced me into making a table of the data instead of giving me the latitude to design my own format. I found out later that I could edit the XML but the intial interface was clunky.
I did like the Group By feature in ArcMap Report feature because it allowed me to order the report based on the priority of the data. At Freeport we are very interested in testing this feature and helping to develop it. I know of several GIS analysts that will want to upgrade or need a reporting solution.
Sincerely,
Michael Wallace
