Viewing Reports

To view any of the reports on screen, simply click on the report of your choice. To run the report without making any changes to the default parameters, select Run Report at the bottom of the screen.


To make changes to the default parameters of a report before viewing:

1) Under the ‘Period Type’ section, choose the period or periods you wish to run the report for using the drop down menus.

2) Select whether you wish to report on ‘Employees’, 'Department totals’ or ‘Both employees and department totals’.

3) Next, select any additional options you wish to apply in the report.

4) Under the ‘Employees’ section, select which employees you wish to include in the report by clicking the Add/ Remove button. To save your selection, click OK. Alternatively, click on the Edit button while hovering over an employee’s name for further selection options.

5) Under the ‘Columns’ section, select the information you would like to include in your report by clicking the Add/ Remove button. To clear the current settings, simply click ‘None’ at the top of the screen to begin again. To save your selection, click OK.

6) To re-order the fields selected, simply drag each field to the position required. More ordering options can be found by clicking on the Edit button while hovering over a particular field.

7) Once you have chosen your report parameters, simply click Run Report to view.

Please Note: The Analysis function also allows for more than one report to be opened and viewed at the same time. This can be done by continuing to select the reports desired from the menu toolbar.
