17. Reports and Enquiries
The features that the Reports and Enquiries menu provide are of three main kinds. These are
the facilities of the Report generator sub-system, those of the Ad-hoc enquiries option and the
pre-set reports.
Note that the common pre-set reports are described in this chapter, but the flexibility of the
system may result in your system having extra pre-set options in the menu.
The facilities of the Report Generator sub-system are common to all Autoline Rev.8
applications. These facilities allow you to create your own reports from any combination of the
fields on your records.
Any combination of system-generated or user-entered fields can be used to provide detailed
information in reports that you yourself design. Instead of being forced to depend on a few
standard reports, you can select the ones that meet your individual day to day requirements, or
you can create special reports that will solve particular problems as they arise. For further
information on the Report Generator refer to the Report Generator manual.
A number of reports are already set up on this menu. They perform standard commercial tasks.
It is important to note that these reports have themselves been set up with the Report Generator
and placed on the menu. You can create and store reports of this complexity yourself using the
Report Generator sub-system.
