Many user, quite honestly, are afraid to use Report Writer! They are overwhelmed with all of its components, first to write a report and second to use it! I have had users spend hours and hours reading the outdated manual and still couldn't understand it. However, once I gave them a 3 hour over view session, they not only understood Report Writer, but they were writing their own reports!
Now you say, okay, what does Report Writer do and how can I benefit from it?
In a nut shell, Report Writer will take any information in your PrintSmith and turn it into a report. The number of different reports that can be written are unlimited and I wouldn't even have enough space here in this newsletter to list them all. Each owner, each location should and does have specific reports that they could use on a daily basis!
A few of my favorite reports would include a detailed WIP report to run each morning for each department. Another one would be a report to see who hasn't been in during the past 30 days. Also another favorite of mine is the plate report. An owner should know how many plates he or she bought last month, but do you know how many plates you sold?? Report writer can do that and it could be designed to list any product you sold. How much did you spend on outside services last month verses what you sold?
