Summary
The Downloadable Reports section in the Proteus Admin Console provides administrators with direct access to key operational and financial data across the platform. Reports are exported as Excel (.xlsx) files, enabling offline analysis, period-end reporting, auditing and data validation.
Reports are divided into two categories:
Default Reports: Available to all Proteus Admin Console users by default.
Additional Reports: Available on request to Proteus Support or your Account Manager. These reports provide more specialised financial and operational data.
WARNING: Downloaded reports are static snapshots of Proteus data at the time of export. If data changes within Proteus after a report has been downloaded such as new timesheet approvals, cost changes or budget adjustments the Excel file will not update automatically. Always download a fresh copy to ensure the data reflects the current state of the system.
Access to Downloadable Reports requires Admin role permissions. If the Reports tab is not visible in your Admin Console, contact your organisation’s Proteus administrator to request access.
Accessing the Reports Tab
Log in to Proteus and navigate to the Admin Console from the main navigation menu.
Select Reports from the left-hand menu within the Admin Console.
The list of available reports will be displayed. Select the report you wish to download.
The report will be generated and downloaded as an .xlsx file to your device.
TIP: Open downloaded reports in Excel 2016 or later for the best compatibility. If date formats appear incorrectly, adjust your Excel regional settings to match the date format used in Proteus (YYYY-MM-DD).

The following points should be considered when working with Proteus Downloadable Reports:
Report data is drawn from the live Proteus environment at the point of download.
Only approved transactions are included in financial reports — this covers approved timesheets, purchase receipts, expense claims and approved budget variations. Unapproved entries will not appear until they have been approved in Proteus.
Reports are exported in .xlsx format. Excel 2016 or later is recommended for best compatibility.
Large data sets may result in longer download and file generation times.
WARNING: Always re-download a report after significant updates to the data in Proteus, such as new timesheet approvals, cost rate changes, variation approvals or budget adjustments. The previously downloaded file will not reflect these changes.
