Summary

Sometimes it may be necessary to change a system Report Generator report. You may want to add or report information from the report.

You cannot edit a system report as any changes that you make will be overwritten when you next run a Platinum Program update. You can copy a system report which will then be saved as a user report which may then be edited.
  • User reports are never overwritten by a Program Update.

More Information

  • Go to the Report Generator that the system report is installed.
  • Click [Search].
  • Highlight the report you want to copy and press <Alt+F8> "Copy".
  • Choose a new three letter "Report code" and "Description" for the copied report.
  • Click [OK].
  • Highlight the newly created user report and press <F5> to edit the report and make the changes required.
