The features that the REPORTS AND ENQUIRIES menu provide are of three main kinds. These are the facilities of the report generator sub-system, those of the Ad-hoc Enquiries option and the pre set reports.
The facilities of the Report generator sub-system are common to all Autoline Rev 8 applications. These facilities allow you to create your own reports from any combination of fields on your records.
Any combination of system-generated or user-entered fields can be used to provide detailed information in reports which you yourself design. You can select the reports that meet your individual day-to-day requirements or you can create special reports that will solve particular problems as they arise.
You can create and store reports of this complexity yourself using the Report Generator sub-system. These are known as the pre-set reports.
The EMPLOYEE RECORDS REPORTS AND ENQUIRIES menu is displayed when you select the Reports & enquiries option from the EMPLOYEE RECORDS menu. From this menu, you can task any report or enquiry.
Report generator: The facilities of the Report Generator sub-system are common to all Rev.8 software applications. These facilities allow you to create your own reports from any combination of the fields on your records. Any combination of system-generated or user-entered fields can be used to provide detailed information in reports which you yourself design. Instead of being forced to depend on a few standard reports, you can select the ones that meet your individual day-to-day requirements, or you can create special reports which will solve particular problems as they arise.
Ad-hoc enquiries: This is the standard utility, as provided within every module's REPORTS AND ENQUIRIES menu.
