Any report that has been created can be copied, amended and saved into Energy Intelligence. For instance, you can change the column order, hide and/or rename columns or make amendments to the filtering options.
This allows you to take a report that has most of the criteria you are looking for, but allows you to add/delete columns, change charts (ie from Columns to Lines) or change measurements such as floor area to occupation.
