Committee reports
Generate a formal, narrative committee report for any period of up to 90 days, edit it, and download it as a PDF
On this page
Committee reports turn your operational records into a formal, written report for committee and board meetings — something you can read from, hand out or email as a PDF.
Premium
Committee reports are part of TurfWise Premium.
Where do I find it?
Click Records in the top bar, then choose Reports › Members Reports › Committee, or open committee reports. On smaller screens, tap Menu first. You can also get there from Members Reports; its guide explains the available report packs.
The page has two parts:
- Quick Reports — ready-made cards for last month, two months ago, three months ago, the Last 6 Weeks and Last Week.
- Custom Report — for any date range you like.
Creating committee reports is for managers and admins.
What's in a committee report?
A committee report opens with summary figures for the period, then a series of written sections. Depending on what was recorded, these include:
- Introduction and Executive Overview
- Course Maintenance Activities
- Course Health & Agronomy
- Health & Safety
- Projects & Capital Works
- Irrigation & Water Management
- Financial Report
- Performance Metrics
- Operational Notes
- Looking Forward and a Closing Statement
Some sections only appear when there's something to say — if nothing was logged for irrigation or projects in that period, those sections are left out. TurfWise writes each section automatically from your figures, in a tone meant for reading aloud at a meeting.
How do I get a quick PDF?
On a Quick Reports card, click PDF. TurfWise builds the report for that period and downloads it straight away, without showing you a preview.
Preview anything that's going to the board
The quick PDF skips the chance to read and edit. If the report is going to committee members, generate a custom report and check it first — it only takes a couple of minutes.
How do I create and edit a custom report?
Open the report builder
Click New Committee Report at the top of the archive, or Create Custom Report. (The Preview button on a Quick Reports card also opens the builder.)
Set the dates
Click a preset — This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last 6 Weeks or Last 30 Days — or type a Start Date and End Date. The builder opens on the current week, so always check the dates before you go on.
Check the period
Below the dates you'll see how many days you've chosen, labelled as a weekly, monthly or 6-week period where it fits.
Click Generate Preview
TurfWise gathers the data for your period and writes up each section.
Review and edit
The preview shows the summary figures and each section. Click the edit icon on any section to change its wording, then save it. Edited sections are marked Edited.
Click Download PDF
The PDF includes your edits. Use Regenerate to rebuild the report from the data, or Start Over to pick different dates.
Up to 90 days
A committee report can cover at most 90 days. Pick a longer range and you'll see "Maximum 90 days allowed" and the Generate Preview button won't work. For a longer period, produce separate reports — or use an Executive Report, which can cover up to 12 months.
Are committee reports saved?
No — a committee report is built fresh each time and isn't kept in TurfWise. Your section edits last only until you leave the page, so download the PDF before you navigate away, and keep a copy of every PDF you hand out.
If you need a report that's saved, versioned and approved inside TurfWise, use an Executive Report or an Evidence Brief in Documents.
Common problems
- Generate Preview won't work — check both dates are filled in, the end date is after the start date, and the range is 90 days or less.
- The dates aren't what I picked on the Quick Reports card — the builder opens on the current week. Set the dates again, or use a preset.
- Sections look thin — the report can only include what was logged. If jobs weren't marked complete or spray records weren't saved, those sections will be light or missing.
- Numbers don't match what I expected — compare the same dates on the relevant page, such as Finance or Reports & Analytics.
Good habits
- Generate the report a day or two before the meeting, not the morning of.
- Use the same kind of period each time — if the committee meets monthly, always report on the calendar month.
- Check financial totals against Finance before you send anything out.
- Add real context in the Looking Forward section: priorities and the reasons behind them, not just a list of jobs.
