Settings in the System module - Reporting Periods

This setting allows you to name and define certain time periods. These should be the periods that you will commonly use when you produce reports. Using 'Paste Special' from the Period field of a report specification window will bring up a list of the Reporting Periods entered using this setting. For example, if you often produce monthly reports you should define each month as a separate period in this setting.

To open the Reporting Periods setting, ensure you are in the System module using the [Module] button in the Master Control panel and click the [Settings] button, also in the Master Control panel. The 'Settings' list opens: double-click 'Reporting Periods'. When the 'Reporting Periods: Inspect' window opens, you can enter a new Reporting Period simply by clicking in the first blank line and entering details as appropriate. Click [Save] to save and close, or the close box to close without saving changes.

It is a good idea to assign a Code that is easy to remember to each Reporting Period. You can use Codes as a quick way to choose a Reporting Period. For example, using the Reporting Periods illustrated above, type "1" in the Period field of a report specification window when you want the report to cover January in the current year. When the current year comes to an end, you should update your Reporting Periods so that they remain current. For example, this will ensure that typing "1" in a report specification window will now produce a report for January in the new year.

The Reporting Period in the first row of this setting will be offered as a default wherever a Reporting Period is required. You might therefore like to change the first row from time to time so that a useful Period is always offered as a default. You can simply change the dates and, if necessary, the Code in the first row, but if you want to delete the old first row once it is no longer useful, click on the row number and press the Backspace key. To insert a new record on the first row, click on the row number and press the Return key.
