Designing a Custom Report

The very first step in designing your own report is to decide what information you need on the report and in what order.

How do I do this?

•Select an inbuilt report to make changes to rather than create a totally new report.

Choose the standard report that is most similar to what you need.

•Highlight the report and click Design New.

The report designer will appear.

There are 6 key areas in the Report Designer.

•Preview

Use these tools to change the placement of selected fields on the page.
