From here, select the type of report you want to create from the drop-down menu under Template. Enter the report name and description, and then click Save. Once created, click the Run | Edit Report link, as shown in the first screenshot, to start selecting the data for your report.

1. Choose the date range and employee status.
2. Select which branch, class, department, and division.
3. Move the available fields you want to report on with the arrows to Report Columns.
4. Be sure to click Apply Selection.
5. Lastly, click Generate the report, Return to the Report List, Save, or Cancel to return to the Report Writer main page.
