Report Criteria

Report Criteria are used to define which records display in a report. The defined Report Criteria filters limit the results that are displayed. If no Report Criteria are defined for a report, all records from the selected report group display when the report is run. For example, a Work Order Listing without criteria would list ALL work orders retained in your system.

Through the use of criteria defined in the Report Criteria window, the data is filtered to limit the results that are displayed. For example, you might limit a Work Order report to display only work orders opened in the last month, or only closed work orders from a particular repair center.

Report Criteria can be modified and saved for individual reports. In addition, runtime changes to Report Criteria can be made to alter the results for a given report, without making this change permanent.

Many reports in Maintenance Connection include fixed criteria that cannot be modified by end users. This ensures that important criteria cannot be inadvertently modified during report modification. Fixed criteria, which are defined on the Report Setup Advanced tab, are displayed at the top of the Report Criteria window.

Contact Maintenance Connection Support if you need to modify a report's fixed criteria.
