Items in this window

Item Notes
Report Name Use this field to select the report that you want to run. The Report Name field allows you to run multiple reports without having to go back to the Reports menu.
Description The system uses this field to display a brief description of the selected report. You can enter a description of a customized report; however, you cannot change the description of a standard report.
Source Report The system uses this field to display the customized report on which the selected report is based. For example, if you have changed the column headings on the Depreciation Expense report and named the customized report "My Depr Expense Report," this field displays "Depreciation Expense" when you select "My Depr Expense Report" in the Report Name field.
[Customize Report] Select this button to display a window that allows you to make changes to the standard reports. You must have purchased Sage Fixed Assets—Reporting to make changes to a standard report. (This button is not available for some reports.)

[Run Report] Select this button to run the selected report.

[Save As] Select this button to save the report definition under a different name. The report definition includes all of the fields on the Setup Report and Format Report tabs. This button is available only if you have purchased the Sage Fixed Assets—Reporting program.
