Print a Report

Sometimes printing a report is the best choice. The information you want to print may not be available in any one view. Or, you may simply prefer a format that is not available as a view. The data displayed in a report is the same data you see in views. Therefore, any change you make in a view will be reflected in a report that presents the same set of information.

To print a report

On the View menu, click Reports.
Click the report type you want, and then click Select.
If you chose Custom as the report type, click a report in the Reports list, and then go to step 5.
Click the report you want to print, and then click Select.
If you’re asked for specific values, enter the values, and then click OK.
The report is displayed in the preview window.
Click Print.

If a report’s text doesn’t look the way you want it to, you can change its appearance. For example, you can change some or all of a report’s text to bold. You can also change the information that appears in a report as well as the report title, the period covered by the report, and the order in which the information appears.

You can only change the appearance of text in the Base Calendar and Project Summary reports. You can’t, however, change the information in these reports.

To change the content and appearance of a report

On the View menu, click Reports.
Click Custom, and then click Select.
In the Reports list, click the report you want to customize, and then click Edit.
If you chose the Base Calendar or the Project Summary report, the Report Text dialog box appears. If you chose any other report, the Report dialog box for the selected report appears.
To change the look of a report’s text, click Text, make the changes you want, and then click OK.
To change the information contained in a report, enter the information you want in the appropriate boxes, and then select the options you want on the Definition and Details tabs.
To sort information, click the Sort tab, and then specify the sort options you want.
