Direct Answer: Enable the Reporting - Status Reports Tab in OnePlan

To enable the Reporting - Status Reports tab in OnePlan, edit the applicable process step in Plan Details configuration and add Reporting - Status Reports to its Available Tabs. This makes the tab appear in plan navigation for plans at that process step, and also unlocks a gear-icon shortcut to Status Report configuration directly from within an open plan.


What This Article Covers: Reporting - Status Reports Navigation

This article explains how to enable the Reporting - Status Reports tab on the process steps where you want status reports to appear in plan navigation, and what enabling it unlocks for administrators.

After reading this article, you will be able to control which process steps display the Reporting - Status Reports tab, and understand how doing so affects access to Status Report configuration.

Why This Matters: Reporting - Status Reports Navigation

Context: Controlling Where Status Reports Appear

Not every process step in a plan's lifecycle needs a status report. Enabling Reporting - Status Reports only on the relevant process steps keeps plan navigation clean and ensures reporting lines up with where a plan actually is in its lifecycle.

Context: Unlocking the Gear-Icon Shortcut

Once a Plan Type's process step has Reporting - Status Reports enabled, administrators no longer need to go through Setup Mode to reach Status Report configuration for that Plan Type. Instead, they can open a plan of that type, go to Reporting > Status Report, and select the gear icon to reach the same Configure and Form Editor tabs directly.

Frequently Asked Questions: Reporting - Status Reports Navigation

Q: Why doesn't the Reporting - Status Reports tab show up in my plan's navigation?
A: In OnePlan, the Reporting - Status Reports tab only appears on process steps where it has been explicitly added to Available Tabs in the Edit Step window for that Plan Type. Confirm the plan's current process step is one where this tab is enabled.


Q: Does enabling Reporting - Status Reports also give me the gear-icon shortcut to configuration?
A: Yes. In OnePlan, once a Plan Type's process step has Reporting - Status Reports enabled, administrators can open a plan of that type, go to Reporting > Status Report, and select the gear icon to reach the same Configure and Form Editor tabs without going through Setup Mode.


Q: Do I need to enable this tab before I can build the Status Report form?
A: No. In OnePlan, the Status Report form is built and saved from Setup Mode independently of plan navigation. Enabling Reporting - Status Reports only controls where the completed form appears to plan owners and approvers — see How to Configure a Status Report Form in OnePlan.
