Upon selecting a Standard Report, Discovery offers you Search, Filter and Toggle options to help tailor the report data to your specific needs. The Search function allows you to isolate specific records within the report by searching for keywords or phrases. The Filter options enable you to refine the report data further based on specific criteria (e.g. date range, location, service, vendor, etc). Depending on the Standard Report, you may have access to various Toggle options that enable you to display or hide multiple records based on a specific binary criteria. For instance, you could choose to show only credits or hide certain types of data, making it easier to focus on the information that is most relevant to your needs. These tools empower you to extract the exact information you need from the report, allowing you to focus on what matters most for your business.


After applying all desired Search, Filter, and Toggle options, simply click the Export to CSV button to export the data in a format that is compatible with Excel. You can find your exported files conveniently located under the My Profile > Data Exports section.


Discovery's Standard Reports offer clients the necessary tools to make informed decisions and improve their waste management practices, whether it's through tracking environmental and sustainability metrics or monitoring vendor invoices and expenses. These reports cover a wide range of waste management data and provide valuable insights into their operations. However, as each client's needs may differ, they may require highly specified reports to properly manage and report on their waste management data. For this reason, we offer the Custom Report Builder feature, which allows clients to tailor reports to their specific needs and requirements.
