Reporting Enhancements
Surround SCM 2010's reporting enhancements give you more control over the look and feel of reports and provide access to external reporting services for even more flexibility.
Native Reporting Enhancements
Generate interactive list reports, and customize the look and feel of any report with standard CSS. The new Workflow Progress report provides insight into the progress of a project through the defined workflow.
External Reporting Services Integration
Use the reporting tools your organization already has in place with Surround SCM's new external reporting plug-ins. External reporting plug-ins let you create and view reports from external reporting services, such as SQL Server Reporting Services or Crystal Reports. External reporting provides more flexibility and control of the report content and layout, and offers more output format options.
Third-party Application Integration
Add custom commands to branch, repository, or file menus to enable launching third-party applications or custom scripts on demand. For example, users can fire up a code review tool or kick off the nightly build, all with one click from the Surround SCM Client.
