Report Columns are used to group
analysis codes together under a common heading for reporting
purposes. Examples might include a column which contains all of the
‘Overtime’ codes, or one which consists of the total of all
‘Absence’ codes. Report columns are allocated to layouts using the
Report Layouts Maintenance screen.
Analysis Codes may
also be assigned to Report Columns by using the
Analysis Code Maintenance
screen.
Report Columns (and Layouts) are also
used in the Weekly Timesheet screen,
in the Timesheet Summary displayed at the bottom of the screen.
There is no limit to the number of
Report Columns which can be set up in Optimum.
