To see all items again, delete the value (select it and press Delete on your keyboard) and then use the droplist. All items will display. Second, in order to enhance performance, the droplist only displays a set number of records. If the list of possible values is longer than the displayed list, select the name at the bottom of the list as the value. When you next click the droplist, the rest of the items display.

Report Actions

The first page of the report displays category, sorting and filtering information...as well as the Title of the Report.

Sort Actions

You can sort the report by Company code assigned by Employee details, Employee's SSN, Employee First or Last Name, Email, Pay Group, Job Class etc. by clicking on the appropriate icon on the left side of the report.

The first option sorts the selected column in ascending order (A to Z or 0 to 9) and the seconds sorts the selected column in descending order (Z to A or 9 to 0).

Column Actions

You can remove columns from the report in one of two ways.

First, you can uncheck the box beside the column you want to remove on the left side of the report. Second, you can right-click in the column at the top of the report and select Hide Column.

If you want to re-display the column, you can either check the box for the column (on the left side of the report) or right-click in the column to the left or right of the hidden column on top of the report and select Unhide column to Left or Unhide Column to Right (whichever is appropriate).

Report Actions

Right-clicking on a column header displays rich-text format controls allowing you to change the font, size, color and style of the selected text. You can also select to wrap text if it goes beyond the width of the cell borders.

Right-clicking on a cell in the table selects the data column as a whole. You can use the pop-up controls to change the font, size, color and style of the selected text (including word wrapping). You can also use the top drop-list to select the cells to which you would like to apply the new format. For example, you might want to highlight values above 50. In this case, right-click on a cell that displays "50", select how you want to present numbers in the list that are greater than 50 (e.g., bold, larger font, green color) and select "Apply to greater values" from the droplist. This causes all numbers in the column that are greater than 50 to use the new format (e.g., bold, larger font, green color).

The following options are available from the top droplist:

  • Apply to all: This applies any formatting changes to all rows in the selected table column.
  • Apply to equal values: This applies any formatting changes to only those rows in the selected table column that match the data in the selected cell.
  • Apply to unequal values: This applies any formatting changes to only those rows in the selected table column that do not match the data in the selected cell.
  • Apply to greater values: This applies any formatting changes to only those rows in the selected table column that are greater than the amount in the selected cell.
  • Apply to greater than or equal values: This applies any formatting changes to only those rows in the selected table column that are greater than or equal to the amount in the select cell.
  • Apply to lesser values: This applies any formatting changes to only those rows in the selected table column that are less than the amount in the selected cell.
  • Apply to less than or equal values: This applies any formatting changes to only those rows in the selected table column that are less than or equal to the amount in the select cell.

  • Clear Options: Clicking this icon allows you to undo changes you have made to the report. Once you click the icon, the following options display:

  • Clear All: This clears all changes you made to the report including sorting changes, column changes and styling changes. It basically reverts the report back to way it was originally presented.

When saved as a User Report, the changes you made (hiding columns, changing sort order, changing styling) will only be seen when your user executes the report. Everyone else will see the report as it was originally designed. When you click on the icon, the following options display:

  • Save Changes as User Report: This saves your changes as a user report.

  • Delete User Report: This is only active if you have a User Report associated with the displayed report. If so, this option allows you to remove your User Report. This will cause you to lose all changes you have made and the next time you run the report, it will display as it was originally designed.

  • Execute Selected Report: This executes the report, with all changes included, in the format displayed. For example, if you click the Excel icon, the report will execute in Excel format. If you want to select a different format, use the droplist to select from:

    • : RTF (Rich Text Format)

    • : CSV (Comma Separated Values)

    Note: Once you select one of the above options, you will have the option to open or save the newly formatted table. Make your selection and click OK.

  • Page locator and Find field

    The page locator allows you to quickly move through the pages of the report. The first icon moves to the first page of the report. The second icon moves to the previous page of the report. The third icon moves to the next page of the report and the last icon moves to the final page of the report. The field displays the page number you are on and the second number (after the slash) shows the total number of pages in the report. You can type a page number in the field to move directly to that page.

    The Find field allows you to quickly find information in the table. Type in all or a portion of a word or number in either the Column headers or the rows and all instances of it are highlighted in the table with the first instance selected. The up and down arrows allow you to move to the previous (up arrow) or next (down arrow) instance of the data you are trying to Find. This is helpful if the table contains a lot of data and you want to quickly move to a specific name or number in the table.
