Overview

Once Mifos is being used to manage accounts, handle scheduling, and collect repayments, the data being generated can be viewed in reports:

  • Standard reports: Currently there are a number of default reports that ship with Mifos. Thirty-nine of them (4 BIRT reports and 35 Pentaho reports) are directly embedded in the Mifos application via the Reports tab and the other reports are available as part of our Mifos Business Intelligence Suite built on Pentaho, a free open-source business intelligence application. Mifos Business Intelligence Suite must be installed to view and access the additional reports; no separate installation is required to view the embedded Mifos reports. 
  • Custom reports: You can also create your own reports using Pentaho. Pentaho is a free open-source business intelligence platform. 

NOTE: BIRT reports will be soon replaced by embedded Pentaho reports.

Using the Standard Reports

Mifos contains 39 standard reports which are directly accessible via the Reports Tab.  See Standard Reports in Mifos for an overview of these. 

Mifos Business Intelligence Suite contains 30+ standard reports built in Pentaho.  To view these reports, you must install Mifos Business Intelligence Suite for either Windows or Linux. You can then access any of the reports via a web browser. Please visit the Mifos Business Intelligence Suite page to download it, view  samples of each report, access installation documentation, and more.
