Custom Reporting
Custom reporting is the process of creating tailored data reports and visualizations to meet specific business needs, often using tools like SQL, BI platforms, or programming libraries. It involves extracting, transforming, and presenting data in formats such as dashboards, charts, or PDFs to support decision-making and analysis. This skill enables developers to build flexible, user-specific reports that go beyond standard templates.
Developers should learn custom reporting to address unique business requirements, such as generating ad-hoc reports for stakeholders, integrating data from multiple sources, or automating report delivery. It is essential in roles involving data analysis, business intelligence, or application development where pre-built reports are insufficient, such as in finance, marketing, or operations.
