Loading an Existing Report

You can load either:

• Standard reports - reports which have already been created and supplied by Micronet with your system. These reports can be loaded in the Report Generator but can only be saved as edited reports.
• Edited reports - customised reports which have been created by the user or by editing the standard reports. These reports can be edited.

You can also create a new report by loading an existing report and saving it as a new one.

To load and edit a report:

1. Select REPORTS | REPORT GENERATOR.

Micronet displays Report Generator screen.

2. Select FILE | LOAD.

Micronet displays the Enter Report to Edit screen.

Technical Tip Note that this screen shows the date that edited reports were last run.

3. Either double-click on one of the standard reports at the top of the screen or one of the edited reports at the bottom of the screen, or select a report and press Enter.

Standard reports are those which have been created and supplied by Micronet. You can load these reports. However, you can only save them as edited reports.

Edited reports are customised reports which have been created by the user or by editing the standard reports. You can edit and save these reports.
