Step 1: Understand the ANVL Hierarchy
ANVL organizes data in layers, from individual workers up to the full organization.
1. Users
Individual frontline workers and managers
Every user can be assigned a supervisor
Supervisors help group teams and support reporting
👉 Think: “Who did the work?”
2. Groups (Often Called Sites)
Groups usually represent a site, facility, or department
Every user must belong to at least one group
Groups control:
What users can see
What managers can review
How reports are filtered
👉 Think: “Where did the work happen?”
3. Organization
All groups combined into a single ANVL environment
Enables roll-up reporting across sites and regions
👉 Think: “How is the organization performing overall?”
Step 2: Why ANVL’s Hierarchy Is Flexible
Frontline work doesn’t always fit neatly into a single location or department.
ANVL’s hierarchy is intentionally flexible so it can:
Mirror your existing Benchmark Gensuite structure, or
Support non-routine, mobile, or cross-site workforces
This flexibility ensures reporting stays accurate—even when work moves.
Step 3: Using Tags for Advanced Reporting
In addition to hierarchy, ANVL supports tags.
Tags can be applied to:
Users
Supervisors
Groups
Workflow Prompts*
Workflow Templates*
*See "Workflow Tags" article for more details
Tags allow you to:
Add custom structure without changing hierarchy
Filter reports more precisely
Power advanced Power BI and API reporting
Step 4: Group-Level Reporting (Manager Dashboard)
The Manager Dashboard is designed for site and regional leaders.
Key things to know:
Data is scoped to the selected group
Switching groups changes:
Live Feed counts
Metrics
Visible workflows
This prevents site leaders from seeing irrelevant data
👉 If numbers change when you switch groups — that’s expected.
Step 5: Organization-Level Reporting (Power BI)
For broader analysis, ANVL uses Power BI.
Power BI allows you to:
Combine data across all groups
Track trends over time
Compare sites or regions
What’s Included
7 standard Power BI report pages
See Power BI specific articles for further details
Covers 80%+ of common customer reporting needs
Custom reports available if needed
Important: Viewing ANVL Power BI reports requires a Power BI Pro license.
Step 6: API Access for Custom Analytics
Every ANVL subscription includes REST API access.
This is useful if:
You have an internal analytics team
You want to merge ANVL data with other systems
You prefer custom dashboards or tools beyond the ANVL hosted Power BI
How Reporting Tools Fit Together
Tool | Best For |
Manager Dashboard | Site-level, day-to-day oversight |
Power BI | Organization-wide trends & analysis |
APIs | Custom analytics & integrations |
Insights AI | AI-powered issue detection & recommendations |
In Summary
ANVL reporting is built on:
A flexible user → group → organization hierarchy
Tag-based customization
Site-level visibility for managers
Organization-wide analytics via Power BI and APIs
Once you understand the hierarchy, the rest of ANVL reporting becomes intuitive.
