To run reports, a user must be assigned either the Statistician or Reporting Hub Super-Viewer role.
Statistician:
Can run reports on groups, and members of the groups, that they have statistician access to; they have usage rights over that group’s data and can run Basic Reports and Formatted Reports.
Reporting Hub Super-Viewer:

If you would like to able to run Elements reports, please contact the Elements team by emailing elements@sussex.ac.uk.
The Basic Reporting function in Elements is a great way to quickly pull a range of data from the system. To access Basic Reporting, log in to Elements and click Menu > Reporting > Basic Reports. Here, you can pull information on your school, department, or individuals. Reports include:
Please note that using the date filter in Section 2 of the Basic Report will include all records without a reporting date.
The reporting date automatically updates on every record based on a date hierarchy, for example, if there is only an accepted date on the record, the reporting date will be the accepted date, but as soon as a published date is added, the reporting date will automatically update to this date. Very old records may not have any dates, and therefore no reporting date, and so will be included on all reports, even if they are date-filtered. These no-date records can be removed in Excel by using the filtering function in the Reporting Date column.
We are working to add dates to all these records.
