QuickEasy Custom Reports is an integrated report-writer that gives you immediate access to numerous standard reports relating to Customers, Sales, Quotations, Work-in-Progress, Purchasing, Production, Inventory, Accounting and more.
In addition to fields that display values from your database, calculated fields can be added to Reports. Calculated fields display the result of a calculation on other fields in the Report - much the same way as a spreadsheet works.
For a more visual display, QuickEasy Reports can be viewed as an interactive, customisable chart which in turn can be viewed as a Column, Bar, Line, Area or Pie diagram.
User settings enable you to control which Reports may be accessed by individual users. In addition, you can add a parameter to Reports to filter out the records linked to other users. For example, Sales Reps could be restricted to viewing their own Customers.
