Filters

This report has two filters:

IMPORTANT: For performance purposes the following two items should be noted when using the Values droplist. First, in order to enhance performance, once a value is selected, the droplist only displays those items alphabetically/numerically AFTER the selected item. 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.

The main report displays Grand Totals for Placements and Total Net Amount at the beginning and then data by Branch and Company. Totals are by Company and then Branch. Grand Totals are again shown at the end of the report.

Filter Actions

You can filter the report by Company Name, Branch and Start Date.

If you select more than one filtering criteria, it acts with OR logic within the same category but as AND logic between categories. For example, if you select more than one Company Name, then both companies display on the report (OR logic). However, if you select a Company and a Start Date, then both must be TRUE for data to display on the report (AND logic).

For the Start Date, you can use a handy date range slider. The slider shows beginning and end dates based on the Start Date range you selected on the initial filtering screen. The dates don't exactly match because the slider only displays dates that have placements associated with them. Thus, if you selected a 1/1/2015 start date, but there are no associated placements until 1/20/2015, the slider will show an initial date of 1/20/2015.

By clicking on one of the endpoint balls and moving the mouse left or right...you can adjust the date range. The report will filter by the newly selected date range. NOTE: You may not select a date prior to the original start date or after the original end date.

For the Company Name and Branch, clicking on the box associated with a Value toggles it between checked and unchecked. A checked box means the report is being filtered by the selected value. An unchecked box indicates that no filtering on the selected value is occurring.

For Recruiter, use the droplist to select a Recruiter Name. If you do not want to filter by Recruiter, select the blank option from the drop-list.

Sort Actions

You can sort the report by Branch, Company, Employee Last Name, Employee First Name, Assignment ID, Job Title, Account Manager and Recruiter 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:

Toolbar Actions

The toolbar allows you to perform the following actions:

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.

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. Simply 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.
