 Define the date range on which the report will be based. Specify the first day and the last day of the reporting range. Dates can be keyed in or you can use the calendar picker.

  2. Depending upon how your reports have been configured you will not ordinarily specify the client. However if this option is available define whether you are reporting on an individual client or all clients. If reporting on all clients this field will need to be remain blank. If reporting on an individual client either type the clients name or click the field to open a drop down list that presents all active clients, select the required client. If you specify a client, the employee field must be left clear.

If you specify an employee, the client field must be left clear.

Report Filters

Filters used within the report are managed through the Report Filters page. This page as we have already discussed is opened once we double click on the selected report within the Client Report list. The Report Filters page allows you to specify additional filters, or to alter or remove the ones that have already been specified.

To specify additional filters observe the following steps:

  1. Select the (plus) Add rule button to assign a blank filter field.

  2. Click into the blank filter field to open a drop down, select the database field that you want the report filtering on. Please be aware that specifying an incorrect database field may result in the report return a blank output.

  3. Once your filters have been defined select the NEXT button, to generate the report output.
