composer require silverstripe/reportsThis module contains the API's for building Reports that are displayed in the Silverstripe backend.
There are also a few CMS reports that comes out of the box:
- A "Users, Groups and Permissions" report allowing administrators to get a quick overview of who has access to the CMS.
- A "Site-wide content report" report allowing CMS users to get a quick overview of content across the site.
- An "External broken links report" allowing users with permissions to track broken external links.
Note
Note that for the "External broken links report" to show up you must install symbiote/silverstripe-queuedjobs.
The reports section will not show up in the CMS if:
- There are no reports to show
- The logged in user does not have permission to view any reports
For large datasets, the reports section may take a long time to load, since each report is getting a count of the items it contains to display next to the title.
To mitigate this issue, there is a cap on the number of items that will be counted per report. This is set at 10,000 items by default, but can be configured using the limit_count_in_overview configuration variable. Setting this to null will result in showing the actual count regardless of how many items there are.
SilverStripe\Reports\Report:
limit_count_in_overview: 500Note that some reports may have overridden the getCount method, and for those reports this may not apply.
This module comes with a few customisable reports out of the box. Details on how to customise these reports can be found in the [documentation] section(./docs/en/index.md).
