Saving and Editing Reports

You can build a library of reports and use them to quickly generate reports with your selected filters and groupings, using both fixed and dynamic date periods. When you save a report, you are saving the report layout: you are not saving the data. Every time you run the report, the report data is refreshed to include any changes.

Reports are saved to the Saved Reports section of the Reports where you can load them again.

• Dynamic Period:

  You can set up dynamic reports for regular use, such as a Monthly report. By default, reports are generated for the current time period as defined in your system. You can select other periods using the date picker, such as Quarter, Month, and Week. The periods are dynamic, meaning that each time you run the report, it will always show data for the relevant period. For example, if you save a report showing data for Last Month, the report will always show data for the previous month relative to the current time. The report will update automatically if time records or your permissions are modified.

• Fixed Period:

  You can save static reports for your records. Fixed-period reports are for a specific date range, for example, a specific week or selected days. If you have selected a fixed period for your report, such as by setting the From and To dates using the date picker, the report will be saved with the date range you selected. When you run the report, the data will be the same as before, but will update if any time records were changed for the specified report time period.
