There are some restrictions when working with reports.

Security restrictions

You can view and print reports only for those sites for which you have security access.

Date restrictions

For reports whose wizard includes a Date Range screen:

• If you select weekly or monthly granularity, the Start Date and End Date selectors may be constrained to particular days (to the week's start and end days, or to the selected month's first and last days).
• If you enter dates that do not match these constraints and click Next, an error message alerts you to change your selection.

The default value of this option will be the same as the settings in Changing the staffing display from FTE to man hours.
