This article describes options for reporting on Zoho Reporting Tags.

You can import up to two categories of Zoho Tags for use in ScaleXP reporting.

Step 1: Import your Reporting Tags

Go to Load Data (tab at top), then select the three dots, then Configure.

Scroll down to Step 3, Reporting Tag Categories.  Select up to 2 reporting tag categories.  Click Done.

Return to the main Connections screen and click Sync now.

Step 2: Report using your Reporting Tags

Once imported, you can report on Zoho Tags in any of these ways:

Option 1: Use the New Report button to create a report on the Reports tab with a column for each option in a Tag category

The easiest way to create a new report for Zoho Tags is to use the New Reports button.

This will enable you to instantly select a code group for which to view all the tags at once, one per column. 

See below screenshots:

Click New, New Report, P&L, Reporting Tags.

Select the category of tags on which you want to report and click Save.

This option will create a new tags report which you can further edit as per the "Edit Columns" option described below.

New reports will not show the tag option for consolidated parent companies or companies without applicable Zoho tags (those having either none or over 75 per category). See below for further options in these cases.

Option 2: Use the Columns configuration on the Reports tab

Go to Edit Report (top right) then Columns (button at top).  See How to edit a report and create your own custom rows and columns 

When viewing a report with tags, you can also use "Edit Columns" to select any combination of tags you wish to see, one or more per column. 

Find Edit columns in the Edit options at the top right of any report.

Select one or more individual tags, "Unassigned" for unassigned amounts, and/or "Reporting Tag Category" to get all amounts, regardless of tag status. 

Don't forget to rename your report to reflect the new tags you have selected and save your new column configuration.

Note: If you have more than 75 Zoho Reporting tags, tags reporting is not an activated feature. To access this feature, you would need to reduce the total number to 75 or less and then contact support@scalexp.com.

Option 3: Use rows editing on the Reports tab

In Reports, use rows and formulas with GL accounts to select tracking categories.   

See How to add tracking categories, classes or tags as rows in your reports and details below. 

When adding a row to a report from the P&L like a financial category, a group or a GL Account, you'll have a secondary option to choose a tracking category for that row. The same can be done in formulas.

1. In any P&L Report, click Edit > Edit Report > Rows
2. Click here to add a new row or create a formula
3. Choose an item from the Accounting section like a financial category, P&L group or account
4. Click Done
5. Now, with that row selected, click the cog wheel for additional configuration options
6. Finally, choose one or many reporting tags.

The same steps can be done within a formula. Now this row or formula with tags built in can be referenced by other rows and formulas in the report.

Formulas and Metrics are available in reports, dashboards and the Metric Library to select tags as well. Edit any dashboard chart series or metric in the library and follow the same steps as the report above.

Option 4: Use Dashboards to create charts and graphs by tag

In Dashboards, using any series or formula using GL accounts to select Zoho Reporting Tags.

You can use the Reporting Tags option to select which categories to include in a chart or graph.

To show a total by Tag, 

1. Create a line for the total
2. In “Show details”, select “Reporting tags”

Option 5: Create customer page reports by tracking category or Class.

See How to report on tags for Customer data and Add Metrics from Multiple Customers Pages to one Report or Dashboard. 

Option 6:  Create custom metrics

In the Metric Library, use formulas with GL accounts to select tracking categories or Class.

These can be used in Reports and Dashboards.
