Custom reports

The custom reports feature available as part of the Argus Metals platform maximises your ability to access exactly what you need in the most efficient way possible. If you have multiple contracts settled on the basis of an Argus price assessment or exchange price, you can set up a report that creates a single list of all those prices, arranged by customer, product, location or department, and add it to your workspace so that you can track the current cost of all those materials every time you visit the platform. Setting up a custom report removes the need to repeatedly answer multiple queries to add the relevant prices that you manage in your contracts and arrange them into a single data extract. This is ideal for anyone who runs the same reports every month with the same collection of prices. Following an easy one-time set up, the report can be exported as a PDF or Excel file with the current data as often as you need to run it and distributed to anyone who is included on your functional licence with Argus.
