11.1. Reports Interface

The reports workarea interface consists of a Report Section Combo Box to select which section/category of reports to list in the Report Selection Combo Box (for example selecting the section accounting will result in the Report Selection Combo Box listing only reports related to accounting). Reports that relate to two or more sections are presented in the relevant sections, for example a report such as Accounting Entries for a Building will appear in both the Accounting and Building sections. Additionally there is an All section which will display the list of all reports available within LandlordMax. There is no context menu in the workarea.

Below the Report Selection Combo Box is an area called the Report Query Data Area. The Report Query Data Area is the location to enter information specific to the selected report. For example, if the report is Accounting Entries for a Building, the Report Query Data Area will request that a building be selected as well as a date range from which to select the accounting entries.

Beside the Report Selection Combo Box are two buttons, Generate and Print buttons. Once all the Report Query Data Area is satisfactorily entered, clicking on the Generate button generates the report information in the Report Result Table. If no data is available to generate the report, then a popup warning message will appear.

Otherwise, once the report has been generated, the Print button will change colors to green, signifying that the report is ready to be printed and viewed.

If at any point any field is modified after the report has been generated, the Print button will change back to its default color of blue. This means that the report needs to be re-generated before the print action can place.

** Note: The re-generation of the report when modifying the Report Query Data Area is required to keep the printed document, the report, and the Report Query Data Area consistent.

Below the Report Selection Combo Box is the Report Title Field which you can use to customize the name of your report on the printout. In other words, the value you enter here will be the value displayed as the title on the printout of your report. In the screenshot above, the Report Title Field was entered as "My Custom Report Title" (also illustrated below).

This will result in the following printout of the report:

As you can see the Report Title Field value is the same as the title on the report printout.
