Report Parameters
The parameters that appear with a CECL report can include:
As you work through the parameters, earlier selections sometimes determine
which parameters are available later.
- Accounts
- Select the accounts that you want to appear in the report. Select
All to show the full account list. Then, expand the
subtotal lists so that you can select specific groups of accounts.
- CECL Categories
- Select one or more CECL categories to include in the report. If the
Instrument Level Detail parameter is available and
selected for the selected report, then you can only select one CECL
category.
- Data Type
- Select if you want to generate a report based on
Loans or HTM Investments
data.
- Discounted
- Select this option if you want discounts to appear in the report
results.
- Economic Scenario
-
Select one or more economic scenarios that you want to include
in the report. The report generates at the category level unless you select
the Instrumental Level Detail option.
Note: This CECL field
parameter can appear as a drop-down list or check box selections depending
on the type of report that you are working with. If a check box list
appears, then you can select more than one economic scenario.
- Header/Footer
-
Select the header and footer information that appears on your
reports when Excel is the selected Report
File Type.
The application provides a default header for every report, but,
when you select Setup, you can create, save, and
reuse your own user-defined headers and footers.
When you open an Excel®-based report in Excel®, the header does not show until you open the Excel®Header and Footer Tools. Use the Excel® search feature to locate this tab quickly. If
you save the report in Excel®, then you do
not have to perform this action the next time that you open the file.
- Instrument Level Detail
- Select to show instrument-level detail in the report. If this
parameter is selected, then the CECL Categories parameter
only allows you to select one CECL category instead of multiple.

Select options in this section to customize the look and feel of
your reports. Depending on the report, customizations can include:

This parameter is only available if your institution is set up as a holding
company. Each organization must have an FDIC # entered on to appear in the list.
- Recipients
-
Select the names of the users who can receive a copy of the
report from the provided list. You can send the current report to other
users of the application via email.
Note: You cannot
clear the name of the active user.
- Report Cosmetics
-
Select a template to define the cosmetics of the report such as
the formatting, background and font colors, lines, blank rows, and page
breaks.
The application provides a default template for every report,
but, when you select Setup, you can create, save, and
reuse your own user-defined report cosmetics.
- Report File Type
- Select the output format for the report. For most reports, the
choices are Excel and PDF. Some
reports also offer delimited options such as Comma
Delimited, Semicolon Delimited, or
Fixed Column Width.
- Save As Favorite
- Select this option and provide a name for the favorite if you want
to generate the same report again without redefining the parameters.
- Share With
- Select each user that you want to share the report with, and
indicate whether the users have Read Only or
Editable access to the shared favorite report. This
parameter appears when you select the Save As Favorite
option.
- Time Frame
-
Select this field to open a calendar showing the months that you
can select for the current report. Each time frame is assigned a color:
-
- Historical Month
-
- Current Month
You can also specify whether the selected months are
Floating or Fixed. By
default, the current month appears as a Floating time
frame.
Note: When you set
the time frame to Floating, the selected months move
relative to the current month, or the month of the most recent successful
update.
After defining all the report parameters, you are ready to generate the report.
You can generate the current standard report now, if needed. You can also save the selected
parameters, and then generate the report as a favorite.
