Report window

(Available if you run reports from the Transactions or Trade orders view). The saved search you want to create the report for. See Generate reports for transactions and trade orders in FA User guide for details.

(Available if you run reports from the top menu or from the Overview). Customer, group or portfolio you want to create the report for. You can set the report to be created for multiple customers, portfolios or groups by choosing it from the field and clicking the + button: the selection is listed below the field, and you can add other selections to the listing. You can delete a customer, portfolio or group listed below the field with the - button. You can create a report with the following selections:

The Report date or Date period (see also Selecting dates). Depending on the nature of the report and the data shown on the report, you need to either select a single date, a date range or no date at all. For example, reports showing positions or allocation naturally show data for a single date, whereas reports showing transactions or a history of figures naturally react to a date range.

Note that if you combine individual reports or create report package, the report date (or the end date of the period) is the same for all reports. If you enter different dates or date ranges, the system picks up the last one you entered and applies it to all reports. To have individual reports generated for different dates, you should save them as different packages and then combine as a report package.

Original purchase price and Transaction purchase price. The selection tells whether the reports always show the transaction purchase price, or whether the reports show the original purchase price of transactions that original transaction information is defined to. The default selection of the purchase price used can be set in Preferences - Transactions.
