# About the Reporting and Analysis module

The Reporting and Analysis module is an optional part of the InForm application that provides a library of configurable reports, predefined reports, and ad hoc reporting and charting tools. Both clinical and operational data are available in real time. For more information, see the Reporting and Analysis Guide.

The Reporting and Analysis module is based on the Cognos 8 Business Intelligence applications, which have been customized and integrated into the InForm application by Oracle, and embedded in the InForm user interface.

Note: You can install the InForm software without the Reporting and Analysis module if you want to use the data collection features of the InForm application without the reporting features.
