Advanced Tab

The Advanced tab of the Report Setup window provides access to advanced setup features. The two items commonly set by System Administrators are the Description and Repair Center for Automation. The remaining fields and sub-tabs are primarily only used by Maintenance Connection Support Staff.

If the Advanced tab is not visible, you are a member of an access group that does not have access to this feature.

Repair Center for Automation Field

The Repair Center for Automation field is used to instruct the system as to what Repair Center Preferences should be used when the report is sent through an automated process, such as a Scheduled Report or a Rule Action. Reports run from within the application recognize the logged-in user's Repair Center and apply those preferences to the report as needed.

Reports run from an automated process use the Repair Center designated on this tab. This feature is especially helpful for reports like the Work Order Report/Printout that use extensive preferences to determine report options and formatting. For more general reports, this setting is primarily used to honor general report preferences (such as the logo to display) along with localization settings such as international date formats and currency.

Description Field

The description entered in the Description field is displayed below the report title on the Report Preview window.

To display the description for a report, the Display Report Description check box must be selected on the General > Settings tab.
