Hi, everyone Dylan here from the Fergus team. In this video, I'm gonna show you the work and progress report otherwise known as the WIP Report.

So this report can't be used for historical totals to get started, click on reports and then WIP report. When we open this report on the top left, there are filters that you can use. Fergus will default to all types. However, you can filter to different jobs and using the custom dropdown, apply a number of other filters.

Make sure you select submit to action any new filters. Further across there is the date range next to the submit button. If you select the dropdown arrow, you can download this report as a CSV. The table displayed Has the following headings created? This shows the created date of the job group.
