Creating Custom Transaction Reports

Title: The 'Report Title' will be used to identify the report in the report selection window as well as being displayed on the report itself. The report will also automatically display the date range selected in the transaction view window.

Column Selection: The available field list is used to add columns to the report. You can double click on a field to move it to the report column box or highlight the field and click on the move right button (>>>>>) The columns used for the report will be displayed in order. (Top to bottom equals left to right in the report) You can change the order of a column by highlighting the column and clicking either the move up or the move down button. You can also remove a column, by double clicking it or by highlighting it and clicking the move left button (<<<<<) As you add fields to the report, you'll notice the available space will decrease. The available space is determined by the page layout. By default, reports are in portait but checking the landscape checkbox will give you room for more columns. A column can also be edited to change the width, heading and alignment used for that column. Measurements are 100 = 1 inch. This means that a portrait report starts with a width of 850 (8 1/2 inches) and a typical numeric field is about 100 wide (1 inch) You can change the width used for columns by highlighting the column and clicking 'Edit'

Gridlines: Reports can have columns and rows separated by lines when the gridlines checkbox is checked. Without gridlines, your report will only have a line at the bottom for totals.

Page Margins: The left and right margins can be adjusted anywhere from 1/4 of an inch to a full inch.

Group By: The report can group records by customer, day, week, month, quarter or year. This will consolidate all records for the selected group into a single line. (A grouping for customer will take each customers sales, add them up and display them as a single line.)
When utilizing a group by, there's another option to 'Show Details'. With this checked, the report will show each of the transactions that make up the group and then display the group total at the end of each group.

Order By: The report can have the records ordered by any column, either accending or decending.

Record Select: Reports can include all transactions (including payments) or limited to either one.

A new reminder feature will automatically alert you as your product update subscription is coming up for renewal. The system will start reminding you 30 days before it expires.

After entering a product into a transaction (invoice, inventory purchase etc) you can edit any of these fields. You will be promted to save changes after making any changes. This updates the actual product definition in Products. This should not be confused with entering custom product where you stray from the product lookups and enter a temporary product that is not tracked as part of your inventory.
