- REPORT OPTIONS:
-
- This is an early version of the REPORT GENERATOR. To make a report:
- Select the SUBJECT by clicking the relevant gadget.
- If you want to be selective, click 'SPECIFY RANGE OF ITEMS' and select
- the first and last items from the SCANLIST.
-
- If you want to limit the report to a range of dates, click 'SPECIFY A PERIOD'
- and enter the date range you want to report on in the boxes underneath.
-
- Finally click where you want the report to go-SCREEN, ASCII FILE, OR PRINTER
-
- NOTE
-
- The most powerful option is 'TRANSACTIONS'. By using the
- 'KEY SELECT' option in the 'PREFERENCES' menu, very comprehensive
- reports can be generated. For example, to generated a report based on
- the transactions of one or several selective payees/ payers you would
-
- 1) go to the 'Transaction Selection' window,
- 2) From the PREFERENCES MENU select to key transactions by 'NAME'
- 3) After the usual wait for AMIGA DOS to catch up, go to 'REPORTS'
- 4) Select (click) the TRANSACTION GADGET
- 5) Request to SPECIFY A RANGE OF ITEMS
- 6) select the range of names you want to report on
- (Note that if you have many transactions for a particular name
- the name appears many times)
-
- 8) Specify the date range for the report
- 9) Select the output device (* Note that TRANSACTIONS do not
- format properly for 'SCREEN' output.
- 10) GENERATE REPORT.
-
-
- The report generator is very forgiving, so do experiment.
