All reports will sort in alphabetical or numerical order according to the heading clicked on.

The icons in the Report Number column indicate whether the report is saved to the host () or just saved to your PC (). Saving a report just to your PC allows you to have a report that only you can run. This is especially helpful when creating reports for employee accounts.

 

Note: FPS GOLD has already created many reports for you as examples for you to edit and use. They are PC reports and are assigned numbers 1000 through 1036.

 

Only reports saved to the host can run automatically in the afterhours.

 

You can run any reports listed on this screen, as described in the Actions Menu topic.
