Reports
At the bottom of the main screen are three tabs: Personnel, Test Instruments and Reports. Select the Reports tab
to display a range of Reports that can be created from the database. Double click the Report icon to initiate a
particular Report.
All reports require a demarcation of the data to be included in the Report. When a Report is selected, the program
will next display a data selection dialog box specific to that report. Use the drop downs and other fields to narrow
the range of data to be included in the Report. Blank fields or a selection will widen the range of data to be
included in the Report.
Some Reports require a period over which the Report is to run. To change the dates that the Report will cover,
select the appropriate Date drop down, to display a calendar. To change the year, select the year with the mouse,
then use the up and down arrows to advance or retard the year. To change the month select the left and right arrows
with the mouse until the appropriate month is selected. To change a date within the month, simply select the
appropriate date with the mouse.
Once the Search criteria is specified, select OK to launch the Report Preview.
Note
If the information does not appear in the Report that you expect, check or widen the search criteria. Remember
Reports are generated from information in the database, if it is not in the database it cannot be printed
