Create Report Books - the Selections Tab

This tab displays a list of all reports/forms included in the active report book. You can use this tab to define the input data used for each report when you generate it.

Certain reports already have pre-defined data, which can either be changed or left unchanged. You can check each report to make sure that no input data is missing. You can also select all reports and define common parameters to be used when running the report book.

Note: You can always choose the company’s local currency. However, you can only use the other currencies if you convert the selected company or group to these currencies.

  1. On the Reports menu, click Report Books. The Report Books window opens. The Define tab is displayed.
  2. Click the Selections tab. In the Reports and Forms list box, select the report/form for which you want to define settings.
  3. Enter the selections, if and when applicable, for which you want to generate the report/form.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Select the next report/form in the Reports and Forms list box and repeat steps 3 to 4.
