nonreportrelated

Nonreportrelated is a compound adjective used in information management to describe items that are not related to a specific report, dataset, or reporting process. The term is not standardized and its meaning can vary by organization, but it typically indicates content that should be excluded from report generation or analysis.

Origins and usage: The form nonreportrelated or non-report-related arises in fields that rely on automated data preparation and reporting workflows, such as business intelligence, data governance, and content management. In practice, a nonreportrelated tag may be applied to files, events, notes, or records that are deemed irrelevant to the scope of a given report. It functions as a labeling or categorization mechanism within a larger data pipeline or content management system.

Applications: Filtering and workflow routing systems may use the label to suppress inclusion in reports, dashboards, or release notes. In search and retrieval, the tag helps users ignore nonreportrelated items during report-centric queries. Validation and governance processes may require explicit justification or justification workflows for marking items as nonreportrelated, ensuring that the label is applied consistently and auditable.

Limitations: Because the term is not standardized, inconsistent use can lead to confusion. Clear documentation and a consistent taxonomy are essential when employing such labels. See also: reportable, nonreportable, metadata tagging, data governance.
