Report Parameters
The parameters that appear with an ALM 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.
- Account Templates
- Select a template from the list to select accounts automatically.
Select Setup to add, copy, modify, and delete
templates.
- Data
- Select Contractual or

YTD, or MTD. The available
options depend on the report that you are creating.

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.
