Introduction

The custom reports tool allows you to create reports from a search conducted previously.

Firstly, it is important to know that:

  • It is possible to create a custom report from all the management grids in which the report icon Button Print Report.png is active (blue).
  • A report is always attached to a precise management grid. For instance, if it is created in the "Transaction management", it doesn't appear in the "Client management".
  • The fields available for the creation of a report are the same as the ones in the corresponding management grid (columns).
  • It is possible to include summaries to the reports only from the "Client management" and "Analysis & History".
  • Each management grid contains files (e.g. the client file in the "Client management" grid) and it is possible to generate an existing report from each of these files. However, it is not possible to create a new one.

Managing the Reports Available

First of all, go in the management proper to the type of report you want to create, modify or delete.

Click on the Button Print Report.png button.

This window opens.

Creation of a Custom Report

Go to the management proper to the type of report you want to create.

Conduct a search by criterion using the search bar, so that the management grid corresponds to what should be found on the report.

Once the management grid corresponds to what should be found on the report, click on the Button Print Report.png button.

To create a new report, click on the Bouton ajouter rapport.png button.

This window opens.
