How To
Designing a Report
CCH Central
CCH Smart Reports allow you to run a standard report or to quickly assemble a report using the Change Report page . In the Change Report page fields and groups are added with default properties, and a standard formatting is applied.
If your needs are more specific, you can customise a report using the Report Designer window. Here you can edit every property of a field, you can insert graphics and add mathematical calculations. The functionality is almost unlimited in the Report Designer window.
