Report Styles

A Report Style defines the appearance of your material list reports. When setting up a report style you can specify the following information:

·   The headings for each column in the report

·   What materials are to be listed in the report

·   The order in which they are to be listed

·   How totals are to be calculated for the report.

You can set up SoftList to have different report styles. For example, you can create detailed reports, simplified reports, and specialized reports listing only the information you need to see.

Setting Up Report Styles and Maintaining Report Styles give you detailed instruction on how to set up and modify Report Styles.

Why Create Custom Material List Reports?

A custom report allows you to use the information SoftList calculates in different ways.

·   You can create a detailed report for your own use, listing items such as markup, labor, and waste, separately.

·   You can create a summary version of this report for a customer. In this summary, you can incorporate items such as markup, labor, and wastage in the totals instead of listing them separately.
