Reporting Year
Efficiently managing your annual Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory reports comes down to smoothly navigating through Reporting Years and handling data points. Your Reporting Year is the foundation of your data, providing a structured timeline for your GHG data entries. While Breeze assigns a default based on the calendar year, your team might have different requirements. Let's dive into how you can tweak, edit, and manage these aspects with just a few clicks.
Understanding Reporting Years
- Your organization’s data is automatically organized into annual GHG Inventories using Reporting Years
- Initially, the default reporting year matches the current calendar year
Adjusting the Annual Cycle
- Need to match the reporting year with your fiscal year? Simply navigate to Map>Reporting Years and edit the End Date of the current Reporting Year
Completing Reporting Years
- Finalize your annual GHG inventory, and mark the reporting year as 'Complete' to end data collection and assign a new reporting year
- Data points assigned to Complete Reporting Years cannot be edited unless the year is reopened
New Data Points
- Every new Data Point is automatically assigned to your Organization’s Current Reporting Year.
Editing Completed Data
- To edit data points in a 'Complete' reporting year, head to Map>Reporting Years and reopen the necessary year for editing
Editing Data Points
- To assign existing data points to an existing reporting year, click “Edit” on the Data page, then click ‘Show Advanced Fields’ to find the reporting year field
- To assign multiple data points to an open reporting year, navigate to Data>Bulk Edit, then select the data points to reassign and click the calendar icon to select a new reporting year
