REPORTS
Business Intelligence. DataConnect. Custom fields.
Pre-built BI reports plus DataConnect to bring your data into Looker, Tableau, or any BI tool.
Why reporting is where data dies
Reports that take engineering tickets are reports nobody trusts.
Data trapped in the app.
Operations data lives in Sonar. The BI team has Looker. Without a connection, nobody gets the full picture.
Custom fields not in reports.
You add custom fields for the data you actually care about. Reports don't see them.
Capabilities
BI in Sonar.
BI in your stack.
Sonar's Reporting module covers the Business Intelligence tool inside Sonar plus DataConnect to bring the data into your external BI stack.
BI tool inside Sonar.
The Business Intelligence tool gives operators access to reports without leaving Sonar. Designed to make pre-built and custom-field reports accessible day-to-day.

Frequently asked
Common questions about reports.
- What reporting is built into Sonar?
- A Business Intelligence tool inside Sonar gives operators pre-built reports and custom-field reports without leaving the platform, governed by Report Licenses for per-user access control.
- Can I use my own BI tool with Sonar data?
- Yes. DataConnect provides database credentials so you can pull Sonar operations data into Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or any BI tool, instead of leaving it trapped in the app.
- Do custom fields show up in reports?
- Yes. Custom Field Data Enhancement makes the custom fields you define reportable across entities, so reports reflect the data you actually care about.
- Who can access reporting in Sonar?
- Report Licenses determine which users can use reporting, so reporting is governed access rather than open data.
