Report templates are XSL documents, thus they can be easily customized to fit company design style and standards. See Customizing report templates topic for details.

To start reporting open your plan and click Reports from the menu Tools or simply Ctrl+R.

To build report, in the Reports dialog choose required report and click OK. This will initiate transformation of your plan to the report file. You can specify another path for report. By default it points to temporary folder. Other report options are category and affected period. They are both enabled only for reports those support it.

Reporting period can be selected from the range of predefined values: this week, week ago and two weeks ago. If you want to build a report for a custom period you can do so by selecting item Custom... This will invoke Date range selection dialog to specify custom period.

After clicking OK, this range will be available in the Period combo box.
