  2. (optional) If you would like to generate a Forecast Report, click on the down arrow to access a Calendar dialog.  Select a date in the future.

Forecast Reports deal with Tasks containing durations.  The purpose of a forecast report is to answer the following question:  If no learning was to occur between now and a certain date, how many Tasks containing durations will either be about to elapse or elapsed?  Please note that since this is a specific date in the future, to re-use this template, you may wish to Edit the date before generating another report instance.

  1. (optional) If you would like to generate a Change Report, click on the down arrow next to the Start and End Date fields to access Calendar dialogs.  Set a date range (such as the beginning and end of a month).

Change Reports deal with status changes occurring between specified dates.  Any status change (that was previously selected) that occurs during this time will appear in the generated report.  Please note that since these are specific dates, to re-use this template, you may wish to Edit the dates before generating another report instance.

  1. If you would like too see only those Tasks that contain Training Information properties, check the corresponding checkbox.  If you would like to see the status off all of the Tasks in the system, uncheck the checkbox.

By default, the Only Include Tasks with Training Info is enabled.
