Running & viewing a report
In each iCompleat report you can filter the results by specific criteria so that you can quickly drill down to the data you need. Some reports have a drop-down that lets you select a time period or enter one manually, & some let you also filter results by supplier or company.
iCompleat reports can take the form of bar charts, line graphs, or lists of data. You can click any part of a report to view the transactions making up the data. In some reports, you'll see a series of pink buttons underneath that let you drill down into specific transactions within the report.
After clicking part of a report or selecting one of the pink buttons, a list of relevant transactions appears on the right of the screen. You can view the individual lines within each transaction & drill down further to see the original document image & any supporting documents.
Exporting a report
All of your reporting data can be quickly exported to Excel or PDF for your own records & analysis. You'll see an Export to PDF button in all the reporting areas, which lets you export the graph, bar chart, or results list to PDF. When a report presents you with a list of orders or invoices, you have the option to export the list to PDF or Excel.
When viewing a document image within a report you also have the options to rotate, download, or print the image.
