Report Window

Report windows are used to display the reports you print to the screen. Below we show an example of a report from the Nominal Ledger module. You can scroll up and down in the window, and search for information in the report.

Below the Button Bar there is a report header, which shows the name of the report and the selection on which it is based. This is important information, since all reports can be produced using different selections.

Below this is the report itself, always shown to its full width in its own window. You can change the window's height and width, which may lead to the report not fitting in the window. You can therefore scroll the window up and down with the scroll bar to the right. If the window is too narrow, the report is compressed sideways, which may make it hard to read. By increasing the width of the window the report can be made to expand.

Since each report is shown in its own window, several reports can be put on the screen at the same time, totally independently. This gives Hansa an unmatched reporting power. You can for example show two versions of the Balance Sheet simultaneously, in two different windows. In one you might show the result without simulated transactions and in the other with simulations. Hansa can easily give you information that can only be obtained after some complicated manoeuvring in other accounting systems.

There is no limit to the number of reports that can be shown simultaneously on the screen, and reports from the different modules may be mixed freely. Since Hansa's windows are completely independent, report windows can be mixed with data entry windows and lists from different parts of the system.

In the following picture we show an example where four reports from the Nominal Ledger and Sales Ledger are shown at the same time.
