Can’t Find All Reporting Fields in One Report?

Why Some Reporting Fields Are Missing From a Report

Brightflag reports are structured around different data levels.

Report Type Data Level
Matter Spend Matter-level spend analytics
All Matters Matter details and metadata
Invoices Invoice-level billing data
Line Items Individual invoice narrative lines
Accruals Vendor accrual submissions
Timekeepers Timekeeper hours and rates

Because these reports analyze different datasets, not all reporting fields appear in every report type.


How to Combine Fields From Multiple Reports

If the information you need exists across different report types, you can combine reports to create a complete dataset.

Step 1 — Run Separate Reports

  1. Go to Menu → Reports → Report Builder
  2. Click Create Report
  3. Select the report type containing the fields you need
  4. Run the report
  5. Repeat this process for any additional report types required

Step 2 — Export the Reports

Download each report as an Excel file.


Step 3 — Combine the Data

Open the exported reports in Excel and combine the data using a shared identifier such as:

  • Matter ID
  • Invoice ID
  • Vendor Name

Excel tools such as XLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, Power Query, or Pivot Tables can help merge the datasets.
