We are improving reporting in BlueDolphin to make insights faster, easier to access, and better integrated across the platform. As part of this change, the current reporting feature will be replaced with enhanced Insights Reports, Repository and OData-based reporting.
We are trying to answer your most common questions about the Legacy Reports deprecation.
Legacy Reports Deprecation

Legacy Reports is the reporting functionality you can currently find under the Reports menu in the BlueDolphin menu bar

We are turning off Legacy Reports so we can focus on newer, more powerful reporting in BlueDolphin. Our goal is to provide you with a better integrated reporting experience.
Q. What is changing in BlueDolphin reporting?

Impact on My Reports
Q. When will the Legacy Reports stop working?
Legacy reports functionality will not be available anymore from Apr 1, 2026.
Q. What does this mean for my existing reports in Legacy Reports?
Existing reports will stop working after the Legacy Reports are deprecated. Users will need to recreate or migrate their reports using BlueDolphin’s reporting features or other supported tools before the legacy reports are turned off.
Q. Will my customized reports still work after the deprecation?
No. Customized reports built in Legacy Reports will need to be transitioned.
Some complex or highly personalized reports may require manual recreation or alternative solutions.
Migration Support
Q. How can I migrate my reports from Legacy Reports to BlueDolphin or other tools?
In most cases, migration will involve recreating your reports using the new reporting options in BlueDolphin or another tool.
We will provide supporting materials (such as step-by-step guides and more extensive FAQs) to help you through this process from January 2025 onwards.
Q. What should I do if my reports rely on features not supported in BlueDolphin?
If your reports use unsupported features, you may need to redesign them or use alternative tools like Excel.
Account managers will guide you through available options.
Q. Will someone assist us with the reports migration?
Yes. For eligible customers, an account manager and/or our expert services team will support the migration.
They can help you with:
Reviewing your current setup and identifying the effort.
Support in creating a step-by-step migration plan.
Providing guidance and best practices during the transition.
For more information, please contact your account manager.
Q. Who should I contact if I have urgent questions or concerns?
If you have urgent questions or concerns about the retirement of Legacy Reports or your migration, reach out to your account manager.
