I have reported dozens of issues to the technical support department over the last two years, some of the elements were resolved although most of the Project reporting tools bugs/deficiencies have yet to be addressed. This lack of a task ID makes it very difficult to map a line# printed on the reports to the actual schedule. One of my biggest issues is a lack of a task ID that would directly map between the actual schedule and the line items printed on the reports. Several of the reports have over-striking issues or don't report what they should.
However, the reporting tools within Project is unacceptable as your schedule becomes a bit more complex. For simple projects, ConcetpDraw Project works OK. I really like the integration with Project and the Mindmapping as well as drawing tools that are part of the ConceptDraw Suite.

I'm a professional Project Manager and have been using the ConceptDraw Suite for a couple of years. By adding custom columns to a single Gantt chart for multiple projects, you can define your own fields for data that referred to all of your projects running simultaneously.ConceptDraw PROJECT v12 allows you to create a tabular project report based on a custom Excel template. With the help of customizable macros place the necessary data in the required cells. Use an Excel document to create a report template.The Report Wizard allows you to generate a custom project status report based on the ConceptDraw PROJECT file data. And now you have a tool that can respond in time to the needs of your stakeholders or team.
These documents reflect the current state of the project's key performance indicators. Reports are a communication tool for passing important information to stakeholders and team members.
Displaying current task status and project data using a customizable Excel template gives professional project managers an excellent opportunity to view a complete picture of project progress. Project data visualization supports effective project management, especially when it comes to multiple projects.
