Reporting

What is a report?

A report is probably the most used feature in DGS. Reports are accessed using the tree and selected reports will show up in the right hand portion of DGS manager, we call this the Display Area. There are two types of reports, an input report, and the standard report. An input report will have you enter in some information and then dynamically renders the report based on that information. For a standard report all that needs to be done is the selection of a date for which data you want.

The Report Toolbar

The Report Toolbar has many useful functions to help you get the most out the reporting in DGS Manager. It is found under the tabs section when a report is open.

The toolbar functions are as follows;
