Add a report profile

You can use report profiles to make your routine report printing quick and efficient. A report profile is a group of specific reports for which you define print options and a collation sequence. You can create an unlimited number of report profiles for your firm and for individual clients.
When you print a report profile, the application prints all of the reports in the profile — using the report options you selected for each one — in the order specified in the profile. When you use report profiles, you don't have to remember which reports to print or which options to use for each report because it's all pre-defined for you.
Do the following to add a report profile:
  1. Choose
    Setup
     then
    Report Profiles
    .
  2. Select the client from the dropdown in the upper-right corner of the
    Report Profiles
     screen.
  3. Go to
    Firm Profile
    . This displays the name of the global (firm-level) report profile that this client profile is based on (or it displays
    <None>
    , if it's not based on a global profile). After you save a client report profile in this screen, you can't change the selection in this field. To make this field available, select
    Add
    .
    • To create a new report profile from scratch, leave
      <None>
       selected in this field.
    • To create a new report profile based on a global profile for the selected client, select the global profile here. The dropdown includes all report profiles for which the
      Client reports
       option was selected in the
      Firm Report Profiles
       screen.
    • To customize a global profile for this client (keeping the same name but selecting different reports/options), select an existing firm-level client profile in the
      Firm profile
       field.
  4. Go to
    Description
     and enter a name for the profile.
  5. Select the ellipsis next to
    Selections
     to open the
    Report Selections
     window, where you can select the reports to include in the report profile.
  6. In the Report Options section, go to
    Report
     and select a report, then choose the options for that report. Repeat this for each report in the profile.
  7. Select
    Enter
     to save the new profile.
