# Action Plans

Report on progress toward your action plan's outcomes with situation updates, outputs, and outcome evidence.

An **Action Plan Report** in PEARS documents the progress and results achieved toward the outcomes defined in an [action plan](/plan/action-plans.md). Each report is linked to one action plan and its reporting period, and records situation updates, outputs, and outcome evidence.

## Getting Started

To access Action Plan Reports, hover over the **Reflect** menu in the top navigation bar and click **Action Plan Reports**. The Action Plan Reports list displays all of your records with options to search, filter, sort, and create new entries.

## Workflow

Completing an action plan report involves several sections. PEARS guides you through each one in order:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### General Information

Select the reporting period and action plan the report covers, then enter the title, narrative, comments, and any file attachments.

[Action Plan Reports](/reflect/action-plan-reports/action-plan-reports.md#create-an-action-plan-report)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Custom Data (if applicable)

If your organization has custom data sections configured for action plan reports, complete the required custom data fields.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Situation Updates (if applicable)

Describe what has changed in the plan's situation assessment since the plan was written. This section appears only when the linked action plan includes evaluation.

[Situation Updates](/reflect/action-plan-reports/action-plan-reports.md#situation-updates)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Outputs

Report on the activities and deliverables that were implemented, with an activity dashboard summarizing the records linked to the action plan.

[Outputs](/reflect/action-plan-reports/action-plan-reports.md#outputs)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Outcome Evidence (if applicable)

Record the results achieved for each outcome indicator in the action plan. This section appears only when the linked action plan includes evaluation.

[Outcome Evidence](/reflect/action-plan-reports/action-plan-reports.md#outcome-evidence)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Mark as Complete

Once all required sections are finished, mark the action plan report as complete.

[Mark a Report as Complete](/reflect/action-plan-reports/action-plan-reports.md#mark-a-report-as-complete)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
