What custom Report Builder does
Custom Report Builder is one of the modules societies ask for most. In short, it lets the office build a report from the exact fields they need, instead of a fixed template — removing a task that used to depend on a register, a phone call, or someone remembering.
Key benefits
- Not limited to pre-built report formats.
- Saves report templates for reuse next month.
- Exportable to Excel or PDF.
- Useful for one-off committee or auditor requests.
How it works
1
Turn it on
The admin enables custom Report Builder for your society from the Secure Nest dashboard — no separate installation needed.
2
Set your rules
Configure it to match how your society actually works: who can approve, what gets logged, and who's notified.
3
It runs itself
From here, custom Report Builder works in the background — residents, guards, and the committee all see the same up-to-date record.
Why societies choose this
The value of custom Report Builder shows up most during the busy moments: peak hours, events, or when the regular staff member is on leave. A system that doesn't depend on memory holds up better than a register or a WhatsApp thread.
Frequently asked questions
In most cases, yes. Custom Report Builder runs on the Secure Nest app and dashboard, and where hardware is involved (like cameras or access devices), it's designed to work alongside common existing setups rather than requiring a full replacement.
Yes — it's built for residents and staff who may not be comfortable with complex apps. Most residents are up and running within their first use, and guards typically need only a short walkthrough.
Yes. Records created through this module are stored securely and access is limited by role, so residents, guards, and committee members only see what's relevant to them.
