Superb data quality is the forerunner for excellent decision making across an organisation. The more high-quality data you have access to, the more confidence you will have when difficult decisions need to be made. As William Edwards Deming rightfully said, "without data, you're just another person with an opinion."

1. Reporting
With all of the work that goes into data management of a building project, you want your team to know the efforts are paying off and everything is running smoothly. Reporting is most certainly an important component of any project. You've spent time in the software with the data and we understand that you want to be able to export this information out, looking fresh and intuitive to the information that it holds.
Let's take a closer look.

Favourites
Let's say you're working on a project where you have 20, 30 or even hundreds of reports and or exports. The idea behind favourites, is to make it easy to find the reports quickly and easily.
Favourites will help you improve your workflow and save you time! This is much more than just saved project reports. Because depending on your role, you might have different favourite reports than your colleagues. All you need to do is favourite them and they are moved to the top of your navigation.
Benefit: Easily access your reports

If you have several hundred reports or exports, before you can favourite them, finding those sneaky reports can be your first challenge.
You now have the the ability to search in the reports module, find your desired report and favourite it.
Benefit: Easily find reports

Customisable layout
We've added Stylistic modifications to reports to improve the way that they function. If you're feeling creative, you can customise your report with an array of different font, text box and note colours.
There is even an option to customise how images are presented in your report with several different layout options. All of the filtering features previously available to you will still be at your finger tips.

You can now synchronise ArchiCAD Zones with dRofus Rooms using the Sync Zones with dRofus command. The ArchiCAD filter allows you to synchronise either only the selected Zone, all Zones in the model or Zones on the current floor.
The dRofus filter allows you to apply a filter to the dRofus Rooms to synchronise.
