Schedule Trade Report

To configure the report:

1. On the Reports tab, select Schedule Reports from the Views menu.
2. Select Schedule Trade Report from the list in the Objects pane. The Reports Wizard's first screen, Header, appears.
3. Optional: To generate a header on the report, select Show Header and type your header text into the text box.
4. Optional: To export the report to a file in the comma-separated values format, select the check box Create report with .csv friendly format (and then, after the report is created, select Actions > Save As and select Comma Separated as the report format). Do not use Workforce Management to print reports that you created in ".csv friendly format," because the result may be truncated. To print the file correctly, open it in a program that reads the .csv format, and then print it.
