About P6 Publication Services and Reporting

Before you can generate reports, data must be refreshed and calculations must be made in precisely arranged tables and fields. Publication Services address these reporting needs gathering and calculating data as close as possible to real-time. To make this happen, you can configure P6 to automatically publish data to reporting tables. Depending on the type of data published, P6 tables may still generate reports, or a combination of P6 and reporting tables may generate them. An administrator must configure settings for Publication Services before publishing reporting data.

Your company's P6 EPPM data has two categories: project data and global data. Published project data includes all information about your projects, including summaries, calculations, and auditing data. Published global data includes enterprise data, resource and role data, portfolio data, security, and auditing data.

To summarize the reporting process:

  1. Users create new data or make changes to existing data in P6.
  2. P6 global and project data publishes, automatically or manually, to tables for reporting.
  3. Reports generate directly from the collective P6 EPPM database with the P6 Extended Schema reporting tables.
