Report Parameters

As you work through the parameters, earlier selections sometimes determine which parameters are available later.

The parameters that appear with a setup report can include the following:

Audit Category

Select one, several, or all the listed categories for the Audit Trail report. This report is designed to capture manual changes made to specific application settings.

Chart Tabs

Select one or more chart tabs to document the settings for the selected tabs in the report.

Fields

Select to include All Fields or only Fields in Use for the report results.

File Types

Select the monthly update file types that you want to examine the account links for.

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.

Layout and Formatting

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

• Amount Formatting
• Font Size
• Include Average Column
• Include Total Column
• Number Decimal Places
• Page/Row/Column
• Rate Decimal Places
• Show GL Numbers
• Suppress Zeroes

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.

Rule Set

Select the allocations rule set to use.

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.

Users

Select the users who you want to include in the User Permissions and Access report.

What If Model

Select the model that the report data is pulled from.

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.
