The Reports screen is used to access all Framework ECM reports for previewing and printing. Each report belongs to a category with the Select Report Category drop-down list used to select the category.

Each Framework ECM report can create a profile, which enables a single report design to be used for a number of different specific reports.

Category

Categories are used to logically group the available reports and profiles.

There are a set of standard report Categories provided with Framework, but new or custom ones can be created in the Report Management Module.

Profiles Tab

Includes the list of available profiles that have been saved from reports.

A profile can be generated from a report or another profile. By selecting the Save button in the Report dialog, the report type, criteria selections, formulas, and descriptions can be created as a profile, or the existing profile updated.
