To view these steps in an instructional video, click the link below.

Prevail houses valuable information your organization needs to be able to gather in an organized way to analyze and report on in a meaningful way.

The Prevail Reporter function is designed to gather such information from your Prevail database.
Numerous standard reports are built into the software. If there is a report that does not exist, you can create a customized report with the Report Designer.
If the report cannot be created through the Report Designer, customized reports are also available by contacting Tech Support at reports@prevail.net.
