Edit System Reports

A System Report is any of a number of built-in reports that organize the presentation of data within Connected Business. While these reports generally retain their default appearances, you can do a limited amount of customization.

This feature is only available in Connected Business v14 or higher.

1. From any module in Connected Business, click the Report Center button. The Report Center form will be displayed.
   
   
2. Select a System Report from the Report Explorer pane then click the Edit button from the ribbon menu. The Report Layout will be displayed.
