    To run a report “as of” a certain date, leave the “From” date blank and enter the as of date in “Thru” date.
  • Drop-down selection fields -- PR3.jpg Many of the filters include drop-down lists for your selection.  You may use the drop-down list, or enter the information if you know it.

    • Expanded Detail -- used when selected, will include detailed information.
