Accessing and Running a Report

To access the list of available reports for a module, click the appropriate module tab, then click the Reports submenu link.  All reports for the module will be displayed with report name, description, created date and last modified date. Custom reports can be identified by the ā€Yā€ (for Yes) in the Custom column. The Edit/View column will display an Edit link next to custom reports that can be edited by the logged-in user.  Standard reports can be identified by the ā€Nā€ (for No) in the Custom column. The Edit/View column will indicate you can View the standard report, but not edit it. You can sort the reports by clicking the column heading and hide columns that display a plus sign (+) when you place your mouse on the column heading.
