Start your newly created report
Modified on Tue, 4 Feb at 12:06 PM
Once you have created a new report, in our example the “2023 Report”, you can access it by clicking on “View details”.
There, you will find two steps:
1. Define Default Activities (OPTIONAL)
Many customers find it useful to predefine emission-relevant activities at the highest possible organizational level so that individual entities only need to enter their consumption data, rather than searching for all activities themselves. This can be done in this step.
Important: This step is optional. If you do not wish to add default activities, you can simply complete and skip this step, proceeding directly to Step 2 (Data Collection), where your entities can enter their own activities.
For example, you can click the blue "Add Activity" button to define default activities using the Smart Search feature or by creating your own activities.
Then, select the activities that should be reported by all or only some of your entities. You can find out how to use the intelligent search feature here:
Once you have created an activity, you can assign it to the entities included in the report.
2. Data Collection
Once you have completed Step 1 (if you added default activities) and opened Step 2, you can start the data collection process.
At this stage, you can also enter a message that will be visible to all recipients.
When you start data collection, you will see a representation of your organizational structure, limited to the entities you selected during the report creation process. If you need to make corrections, you can do so by clicking on "More Actions."
All your entities will now receive an email notification and can log into the system to add consumption data or their own activities. If an entity has not been assigned a manager, the data collection task for that entity will be assigned to you (the administrator).
What is the added value of Step 1?
Here, you can define activities that will then be displayed during data collection for all your entities or only selected ones. This eliminates the need for entities to search for activities themselves— they only need to enter the consumption values. This reduces the workload for entities and is especially helpful when there are no CO₂ experts within the entities who might otherwise struggle to determine which activities to enter.
Do I have to complete Step 1?
No, this step is optional. If you choose not to complete it, simply finish it. Data collection can then begin, and all entities can search for and enter activities themselves.
How should I define activities for my entities?
Certain activities are very likely relevant for all entities, such as electricity consumption. However, this also depends on the specific activities and sector. We provide guidance in this regard here.
