When you want the system to produce a report, you must first select the type of report that you want. Examples of the types of reports that you can request are member address labels, member tax receipts, employer name list, and a remittance summary. You actually select the type of report in two steps: first you indicate whether the basic unit on the report is members, employers, or remittances; second, you choose the specific type of report that you want.
After you select the type of report, you tell the system how to produce the report, or in other words, you specify the report’s parameters. You do this in several steps: you specify options for this particular report (if the report has any); you select the printer for the report; you select the report’s order; and last you specify the report’s selection conditions. After you’ve completed these steps, the system performs the calculations necessary for the report, and then displays the report in a “preview window”. In the preview window you can view the report on the screen, print out some or all of the report, or even print out multiple copies of the report. In the preview window, click on the Printer icon in the title bar to print the report.
