Environmental Reports
Four reports, each read within one main form. Each is a list like any other, so each carries paging, sorting, column selection, Excel export and background report generation.
All four read the round in force. A draft nobody approved does not answer an auditor's question, and a superseded round answers a question about last year.
Significant environmental aspects
The register's most important list: every record in force whose aspect is significant.
It reads the stored significance flag rather than recalculating it from the band. That matters — a record made significant through its legal status never went through a significant band, and a report that re-derived significance from the band alone would leave those records out.
This is the list an ISO 14001 audit asks for first.
Aspects by compliance obligation
Every record in force, grouped by the compliance obligations it names.
The question this answers is the one that arrives when a regulation changes: which of our aspects does this touch? Because obligations are a central catalogue rather than free text on each record, that question resolves to one filter instead of a reading exercise.
This report is only as good as the discipline of naming obligations on records. An aspect assessed under a numeric legal limit with no obligation named will not appear here, however high it scored.
Control method distribution
Which control methods are actually in use across the register, with the control degree beside them.
Read it the way you would read the hierarchy of controls in safety: a register controlled mostly by monitoring and administrative measures is controlled conditionally. The control degree column is what separates aspects the organization controls from those it merely influences — and the second group is not where a management review should be looking for improvement.
Processes with no record
The coverage report, and the one that answers the auditor's opening question: which processes covered by this main form have no environmental record at all?
It reads the processes the main form links, takes each chain's published current revision, and reports those with no record in force. Each candidate passes through the same record-level process permission filter the picker uses, so it shows only processes you may read.
Coverage is process level, not step level. A twenty-step process counts as covered by a single record.
This is a real limitation and worth knowing before you rely on the report: because the process step is free text on a record rather than a link, no step-level question can be asked of the register. Use the report to find processes nobody has looked at, not to prove a process has been assessed thoroughly.
It also reads only published process revisions. Reporting a gap from an unpublished draft would send somebody looking for work that was never in scope.
Exporting
Every report exports to Excel from its own toolbar, and larger exports run as a background report — you are notified when the file is ready rather than waiting on the screen.
