Reports

Once you have generated a report, there are several options available to you to modify the appearance of the report, view it in different ways, and print or export it.

Sorting Data

You can sort by any column you choose by clicking on the arrows Report_Sorting_Arrow.png above the column you wish to sort by. The double-arrows will change to a single arrow to indicate that the column is selected. Sorting will initially be by ascending alpha-numeric order. Click the arrow a second time to reverse the order.

You can sort another column within the previous sort order by holding down the Shift key while clicking the arrows over another column.

Modifying Presentation

Some reports show data that can be expanded using plus/minus arrows on the data tree. Click the minus sign Reports_Collapse.png to collapse the branch and show it in summary form. Click the plus sign Expand_Reports.png to expand a branch and view the detailed data.
