Clio Manage Reports, Presets, and History

In Clio Manage, you can generate reports that provide nuanced insights into your firm’s data. A list of Classic reports are available for you to select then tailor to your needs using filters. If you regularly generate the same report with the same filters applied, you can save this unique combination of report and filters as a “preset”. You can also schedule a report to be automatically generated according to a timeline of your choosing.

For more nuanced reporting needs, Clio Manage also offers the ability to create Custom reports. Refer to Generate Custom Reports in Clio Manage for more information.

Generate reports in Clio Manage

Each Clio Manage report has a specific set of filters that apply to that report. You can generate various configurations of each report to suit your reporting needs. You can generate most reports in CSV and PDF format, and some reports can be generated in Excel and Web formats. If you create a report in CSV format, you can also customize how your report appears by hiding, unhiding, and reordering columns.

1. Go to the main Reports tab.
2. Select the Classic reports tab, and under that, the Reports subtab.
3. Select a report category under Categories.
4. Click the name of the report you want to generate.
5. Select your filter parameters.
6. Under Output format, select how you want to view the report. If you choose CSV format, click Select and reorder columns to hide, unhide, and/or reorder columns in the report. 
   
   Select and reorder columns

   You can hide, unhide, and reorder columns for the following Clio Manage reports: Clio Payments ledger report, Clio Payments transaction report, billing rate report, client activity report, fee allocation report, matter balance summary report, matter productivity by user report, originating attorney revenue report, trust ledger report, trust management report, and revenue report.
   

   Note: Hiding a column will not delete any data from the report. Your generated report will not show the column data, but you can always activate the hidden column if you need to see that data.

   1. The columns listed under Active columns will appear in the report in the listed order once the report is generated. If you do not want a column to appear in the report, uncheck the box next to a column's name to hide it, or click the three line icon next to a column's name to drag and drop the column under Hidden columns. If you want to reorder the active columns, click the three line icon next to a column's name to drag and drop the column to any position around another active column.
   2. The columns listed under Hidden columns will not appear in the report once the report is generated. If you want to show a hidden column in the report, check the box next to the column's name or click the three line icon next to a column's name and drag and drop it from Hidden columns to Active columns.
   3. Click Reset to default to reset the report columns to their original view.
   4. Click Clear selected to uncheck all columns and move them under Hidden columns. You are required to select at least one column in order to generate the report.
7. Click Generate report.
8. Optional: If you downloaded the report as a CSV or PDF file, print it from your computer.

Generate, schedule, and manage reports presets

With report presets in Clio Manage, you can quickly generate reports you access on a regular basis. When generating a report, you can save the selected filters as a preset that you can edit at any time, eliminating the need to remember your report filters every time you generate the same report. You can also schedule one of your own presets to be run at any cadence that works best for you and enable report generation at a future date of your choice. Once your scheduled preset is generated, you will be notified by email.

View reports history table

The reports history table in Clio Manage shows a record of reports that you ran in the previous six months. When you generate a new report, the record will appear as a new line item in the history table.

1. Go to Reports > History.
2. Sort the table by Date generated or Report name. By default, the table is sorted by the date a report was generated.
3. Optional: Click Filters to filter the table by category, report output, or date generated.
4. Optional: Enter a keyword in the Search by report name field to do a keyword search.
5. Click a report’s name to view the report in the same output format that it was originally generated.
