Heritage Direct: Building Custom Reports

Building Custom Reports in Heritage Direct

In previous issues we’ve discussed the benefits of Heritage Direct, our business online banking system, including the ability to deposit checks from your mobile phone, setting up banking alerts and enhanced user maintenance. A common theme is that the digital capabilities allow you to manage your accounts and be more productive, even while on the go.

While it’s important to have access to your funds 24/7, it’s equally important to be able to report what’s going on—either daily or for a specific period of time. Reports provide you with a snapshot of your business and are generally created for a particular purpose or audience. They can be used to analyze trends, compare account details, track transaction history and identify any issues that may need correcting in the future. They’re also useful when specific data needs to be shared with leadership, board members, stakeholders, accountants, lawyers, etc.

Heritage Direct* not only allows you to build custom reports but also lets you choose which users have access to do so. The system will save reports for 90 days but they can also be exported and downloaded in different file formats (CSV, Quicken/QuickBooks or TSV) should they need to be accessible for a longer period of time.

Here is a list of categories and the custom reporting options within each.
