Define "Custom Reports" in CSOD.

Custom Reports in Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD) refer to reports that are specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of an organization, allowing users to compile and analyze data that aligns with their specific metrics and data needs. The flexibility to customize these reports enables organizations to extract pertinent insights that may not be available through standard reporting options. This customization can include selecting specific data fields, choosing the format, and defining the distribution of the report, which ensures that the information provided is relevant and tailored to the users' and leadership's needs.

On the contrary, standard reports may be useful for routine metrics but do not offer the flexibility needed for tailored insights. The comparison of employee performance across different companies is more aligned with benchmarking studies rather than custom reporting. Similarly, summarizing feedback from training sessions may be part of standard reporting but does not capture the range of tailored data needs that custom reports address. Therefore, the ability to create Custom Reports is essential for organizations to drive informed decision-making based on their specific criteria and objectives.
