Report Setting
Enter a report setting, or click the Lookup button to list all report settings. The Standard report setting provides a set of default options, sort criteria, and selection criteria for each report.
Description
This field displays the description for the selected report setting. Enter a description that describes the output of the report. The description can be up to 60 characters.
Type
This field displays the type of access assigned to the report setting. A Public report setting allows access to all users. This includes the ability to access, modify, save, print, and delete the report setting; however, the Standard report setting cannot be deleted. This field can only be viewed.
Default Report
Select this check box to set the current report setting as the default report setting. The default report setting is the first report setting displayed when the report is accessed. Clear this check box if you do not want this report setting to be the default.
When a default report setting is not selected, the Report Setting field displays the Standard report setting.
Print Report Settings
Select this check box to print the options, sort criteria, and selection criteria for the selected report setting. This information prints on a separate cover page when the report is printed. Clear this check box if you do not want to print the report settings.
Three Hole Punch
Select this check box to print the report with a larger margin. This allows enough space for you to three-hole punch the report. Clear this check box if you do not want a larger margin for this purpose.
Number of Copies
Select the number of copies to print.
Collated
Select this check box to print each copy of the report or form in proper binding order when printing multiple copies. Clear this check box if you do not want to collate the report or form. This check box is available only if the value selected in the Number of Copies field is greater than 1.
Sort Report By
Select an option for sorting the report.
Operand
Select an operand to limit your selection to a particular value or range of values. When selecting a value using the Lookup button or entering a value directly into the Value field (and moving out of the field), the operand automatically changes to Equal to. Likewise, when selecting a value using the Lookup button for a range or entering values directly into both Value fields, the operand automatically changes to Range.
The following operands are available:
Operand
Operand Function
All Selects all information for the Select Field. Begins with Selects only the information for the Select Field that begins with the value entered in the Value field. Ends with Selects only the information for the Select Field that ends with the value entered in the Value field. Contains Selects only the information for the Select Field that contains the value entered in the Value field. Less than Selects only the information for the Select Field that is less than, but not equal to, the value entered in the Value field. Greater than Selects only the information for the Select Field that is greater than or equal to the value entered in the Value field. Range
When Range is selected, two Value fields are used. Information is selected that is greater than or equal to the first value entered and less than or equal to the second value entered in the Value fields.
Note Entries in the "From" Value field may change to the entry made in the "To" Value field, if the "From" Value contains a lowercase letter and the "To" Value contains an uppercase letter. This occurs because lowercase letters are greater than uppercase letters. For example, if 01a is entered in the "From" Value field and 01C is entered in the "To" Value field, the "From" Value field changes to 01C.Equal to
Selects only the information for the Select Field that is equal to the value entered in the Value field.
Not Equal to
Selects only the information for the Select Field that is not equal to the value entered in the Value field.
Additional operands are available for date Select fields. The system date is used to calculate the date ranges. When one of the date operands is selected, the Value fields automatically default to the appropriate dates.
You can use commas (,) to separate multiple values; however, if your selection values already contain commas, you must use alternate separators to separate them.
Note When alternate separators are used, the value list must end with the alternate separator character.
The alternate separators include the following:
~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) = [ ] \ ; " / _ + { } | : < > ?
Note If you enter a value that contains a comma (for example, if a vendor number is
01-SAGE,WEST ), then you must enclose the value with an alternate separator (for example,%01-SAGE,WEST% ). Because the comma is a separator, if the value is not enclosed in alternate separators, the system can search for two incorrect values (for example, "01-SAGE" and "WEST", instead of "01-SAGE,WEST").If your company uses commas in item codes, use an alternate separator to select one or multiple item codes.
Value
Enter a value based on the operand entered, or click the Lookup or Calendar button to select a value from the list. Multiple values can be entered by using a comma or alternate separators to separate values.
Note If Country Code is an option in the Select field, and your source documents have no value in the Country Code field, the default Country Code entered in Company Maintenance is used as selection criteria for those documents.
You can enter single or multiple values as follows:
Operand
Value
All Selects all information for the Select Field. Begins with
Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.
Ends with
Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.
Contains
Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.
Less than Only single values are allowed. Greater than Only single values are allowed. Range Both Value fields are used to define a range. Only single values are allowed at each Value field. Equal to Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed. Not Equal to
Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An AND condition is assumed.
Note If you enter a value that contains a comma (for example, if a vendor number is
01-SAGE,WEST ), then you must enclose the value with an alternate separator (for example,%01-SAGE,WEST% ). Because the comma is a separator, if the value is not enclosed in alternate separators, the system can search for two incorrect values (for example, "01-SAGE" and "WEST", instead of "01-SAGE,WEST").
