As you work through the parameters, earlier selections sometimes determine which parameters are available later.
Select Combined or Segregated for the direct/indirect/overhead (D/I/O) type.
Choosing to combine direct, indirect, and overhead data generates a subtotal in the report.
Choosing to segregate data keeps direct, indirect, and overhead data separated in the statement.
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.
Select options in this section to customize the look and feel of your reports. Depending on the report, customizations can include:
Select the organizations that you want to include in the report. Only those organizations that you are permitted to access appear in the list.
If you are using organization groups, then you can select to show the list by Hierarchy or Groups. This option is available for the Balance Sheet and Income Statement reports.
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.
Select Add Column Data to define the specific columns of data and calculations that you can use for the Variance report results.
Select the Data Value, Data Source, and Time Frame for each column.
After you add at least two columns, then the Data Value of Calculation is available. You can select the Calculation Type options and the Highlight Adverse Variance option.
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.
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:
You can also specify whether the selected months are Floating or Fixed depending on the report. By default, the current month appears as a Floating time frame.
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.
