|||||||||||||||||||||
The Set Current Reporting Month program is used to set the current reporting month and year. The current reporting month and year are used to determine report values in the following ways:
- Default dates in report windows: When displaying dates or months in various report dialogs, Tabs3 will default the date or month to the current reporting month unless a report definition is in use. For example, the Ending Reporting Month in the Timekeeper Productivity Report will default to the current reporting month unless a report definition is loaded for the report.
- Period Selection in report windows: The Time Period Selector includes several options for report generation based on the current reporting month and year, such as the Current Reporting Month Prior Year option. The values used when these options are selected are dependent on the current reporting month and year selected in the Set Current Reporting Month program.
- Report Definitions: When saving report definitions, Tabs3 can save either a variable or a specific date. The option saved is determined by comparing the date entered and the current reporting month.
The Current Reporting Month field displays the current reporting month and year.
The Set Current Reporting Month to fields allow you to specify a current reporting month and current reporting year. This makes it possible to obtain productivity or other information for a prior period when running reports.
