Standard Report Process
- Click on the Reports menu option and select a report category

- Filter your report using tabs in the setup window
- Set a Date range (starting date and ending date) along with a Format
- Go to the Buildings tab and specify which buildings on which you wish to run the report
- Use the Event Types and Organizational Types tabs to filter selected options

- In the Filter tab, enter in any fields from Bookings (and its subcategories), Reservations (and its subcategories), and Service Orders (details on resource items; and its subcategories)
- If a field is selected for filtering, a dialog box will appear to enter additional parameters to refine the filter
