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.
