Reports Functionality

Report Action Buttons

Functionality varies based on the report. However, how that function works is the same throughout each report. The report buttons available in the Reports menu include the following:

Ad Hoc Report Settings

When the Ad Hoc button displays for a report, additional settings are available to tailor the report content. The start and end dates covered by the report and information that is included can be chosen.

The start and end dates for the report are chosen by selecting a reporting period or entering start and end dates.

Report information sets which data is included in the ad hoc report. Options can be selected from menus or may be enabled for selection, e.g., radio button.

A report information option may include the selection of All or None. None selects a summary of the data. For example, if you select All for Register, one row of data for each register is displayed in the report. If you select None, only one row is displayed with data totaled for all registers.

Drill Down Reports

If you select a hyperlink within the report data, the drill down report is displayed for the select hyperlink. In most instances, the columns do not change when the drill down report is displayed. Drill down reports do not have the ad hoc capability.
