Custom reports

Custom reports let you build reusable views for your organization's questions. Caplo supports three report builders: landscape reports, roadmaps, and bar charts.

Landscape reports

Landscape reports show nested groups of related entities. Use them when the shape of the architecture matters more than a total or ranking.

Read the landscape reports guide for layer direction, coloring, timelines, and saving guidance.

Roadmap reports

Roadmap reports turn connected repository data into a split tree-and-timeline view. Use them when timing, milestones, and sequence matter more than totals or card layout.

Read the roadmap reports guide for layer timing, milestones, timeline edit mode, and saving guidance.

Bar charts

Bar charts group or aggregate entities into bars. Use them when you need comparison, prioritization, or a simple executive summary.

Read the bar charts guide for aggregation, relation-path grouping, timelines, built-in templates, and saving guidance.

Shared guidance

All three report types rely on repository relations, metadata, and clean source data. If a report feels empty or surprising, the usual cause is relation direction, path choice, filters, or missing repository data rather than the visualization itself.

Save a custom report when it answers a recurring question. Shared reports should have clear names and stable filters so teammates can trust them.
