Use the Filter tab to narrow down and define the data using the available filters.

Use the Options tab to Summarize Amounts on the report, implement security features, and more.

  • Select "Summarize Amounts" to add amounts together and display one line item with the total amount. All document information must be identical for the system to add items together.

  • Select "Do Not Allow Changes to this Report" to secure the report so that other users cannot save their changes to it. This option can only be undone by the user that locked the report.

  • Select "Year End Adjustments" to include year end adjustments on the report. This entry type was designated during transaction entry.

  • Select "Open Entries in Detail" to include opening balances (system or user opening entries) in detail.

  • Select "Replace total debits and credits with Balance" to show the net amount for each segment where totals have been requested. Otherwise, the report displays the total debits and total credits for each segment.

  • Select "Suppress Lines with All Zeros" so that documents with zero amounts do not print. This eliminates records having zero in all amount columns. If it is not selected, every line prints, even if it has a zero value.

Use the Layout tab to change the font and page setup for a report.
