Detailed reports

Before using the functions on this page, you may find it useful to review the following information:

The list of all functions is here.

Description of this function

  • Get the Detailed report list

  • Get the data for any report listed in the Detailed reports

List of functions

  • /service/getReportTree

  • /service/getReport

This section describes how you can retrieve data if you wanted to create a page that looks similar to the "Detailed reports" page (in the "Results" step) in Pathfinder. There are two calls to make:

  • The first call gets the "report tree" which is a hierarchical list of reports that could be used to create a tree as it appears on the left-hand menu of the "Detailed reports".

  • The second call allows the user to get the tabular data for that report.

Details on formatting the tables are also listed, below.

/service/getReportTree function – Get Detailed Report List

The code sample below shows how to get the report tree.

JS 
function OnGetReportTree() {// Test 4
    var guid = $('#scenarioguid').val();
    OnGetJson('/service/getreporttree', {
        scenarioGuid: guid
    });
}

An abbreviated sample of what is returned is as follows.

JS 
{
  "Items": [
    {
      "Items": [
        {
          "Items": [
            {
              "Items": [
                {
                  "Items": [],
                  "Name": "Asset allocation $",
                  "Path": "Data\Actual value reports\INDL: Consolidated\Asset allocation\Asset allocation\Asset allocation $",
                  "Report": "-9223372002495035598",
                  "ReportName": "Client Asset allocation: Overall $",
                  "Expanded": false,
                  "Css": "page"
                },
                {
                  "Items": [
                    {
                      "Items": [],
                      "Name": "Outside super $",
                      "Path": "Data\Actual value reports\INDL: Consolidated\Asset allocation\Asset allocation\Outside super\Outside super $",
                      "Report": "-9223372002495035600",
                      "ReportName": "Client Asset allocation: Outside super $",
                      "Expanded": false,
                      "Css": "page"
                    }
                  ],

                  "Path": "Data\Actual value reports\INDL: Consolidated\Asset allocation\Asset allocation\Outside super",
                  "Report": "-9223372002495035602",
                  "ReportName": "Client Asset allocation: Outside super %",
                  "Expanded": false,
                  "Css": "page"
                }

/service/getReport function – Get Data for a Detailed report

To retrieve the data for any of the reports listed, specify the scenarioGuid and reportpath as follows.

JS 
function OnGetReport() {// Test 5
    var guid = $('#scenarioguid').val();
    var reportpath = $('#reportpath').val();
    OnGetJson('/service/getreport', {
        scenarioGuid: guid,
        reportpath: reportpath
    });
}

Formatting detailed reports

When you use the /service/getReport function, the data that is returned includes information that can help you format it in a user-friendly way.

Normal formatting

Data strings with normal formatting are usually dollar amounts, such as income and expenses on the cash flows report.

The suggested conventions for 'normal' formatting are:

  • No decimal places (if the data contains numbers)

  • Comma delimited (if numbers). It is quite common for 'normal' data be be in the thousands or millions.

  • A neutral font size and style

In the API output, this data is marked with  "f:normal".

For example, in the ' Consolidated Cash flows' report (with Path: Data\Actual value reports\INDL: Consolidated\Cash flows). The 'Salary' data has 'normal' formatting (you can also check the 'Tax paid, annual expenditure rows, among others). This is how the output looks, and you can see it is marked as 'f:normal' on line 24:

CODE 
    [
          "",
          "Salary",
          65000,
          67112.5,
          69293.65625,
          71718.93421875,
          74229.0969164063,
          76827.1153084805,
          79516.0643442773,
          82299.126596327,
          85179.5960271984,
          88160.8818881504,
          91246.5127542356,
          94440.1407006339,
          97745.5456251561,
          101166.639722037,
          104707.472112308,
          108372.233636239,
          112165.261813507,
          116091.04597698,
          120154.232586174,
          124359.63072669,
          "f:normal"
        ],


With the suggested formatting conventions, it would look like this:

CODE 
65,000
67,113
69,294
71,719
74,229
76,827

Percentages (rate) formatting

Data strings with ‘rate' formatting should be formatted as percentages. If your 'normal' formatting rounds to full numbers, then it is important to format 'rate' lines differently so that they are not rounded to zero.

The suggested formatting for 'rate' is:

  • As a percentage with 2 decimal places and followed by the % symbol. e.g. display 0.105 as 10.5%

  • The same font size and style as 'normal' formatting

  • You can comma delimit the values, but it's highly unusual to have a percentage over 100%, so it's unlikely to apply

In the API output, this data is marked with  "f:rate".

For example, in an individual's 'Super deposits summary' report (Path: Data\Actual value reports\INDL: NAME\Cash flows\Super deposits summary). The 'Super guarantee %' data has 'rate' formatting and an example of the output looks like this. You can see it is marked as 'f:rate' on line 24:

CODE 
      [
          "",
          "Super guarantee %",
          0.105,
          0.11,
          0.115,
          0.12,
          0.12,
          0.12,
          0.12,

          0.12,
          0.12,
          0.12,
          0.12,
          "f:rate"
        ],

With the suggested formatting, it would look like this:

Age formatting

Data strings with 'age' formatting indicate the individual's age at the top of various reports.

The suggested conventions for 'age' formatting are:

  • One decimal place

  • The same font size and style as 'normal' formatting

In the API output, this data is marked with  "f:age".

For example, in an individual's 'Cash flows' report (path: Data\Actual value reports\INDL: NAME\Cash flows (detailed). The 'Age at start of year' data has 'age' formatting, and  you can see it is marked as 'f:age' on line 24:

CODE 
        [
          "",
          "Age at start of year",
          27.3315068493151,
          28.3306010928962,

          41.3315068493151,
          42.3315068493151,

          46.3315068493151,
