Parameters Screen

LightWork reports are entirely customizable based on desired Parameters that filter the report results to provide you with the most useful insights into your data.

  1. Date Range
    Located within the 'General' tab, allows the User to make a Date Range selection by filling out the 'From Date' and 'To Date' giving specific control over the timeframe queried as part of this report (this selection is only available for reports that aren't specific to plan year totals).

  2. Output Type
    Located within the 'General' tab, the 'Output Type'allows you to select the method in which your report is delivered. All reports can be exported into a PDF or Excel format.
    Note: If the PDF method is selected a new tab will be opened which may be prohibited by pop-up blockers. If the Excel method is selected the report will be brought directly into a CSV file to open in Excel and formatting may be affected. Formatting may require manual intervention.

  3. Employee(s) Selection
    Located within the 'Employees' tab, a User can select 'My Employees' (Employees who have been configured for your User to have access to within User Security such as Direct Reports), 'Specific Employees' (Employees selected from a list of Employees your User has access to), or 'Selected Company/Organization Levels' (which would allow you to refine results based on company as well as company specific Organization Levels available in the system such as Division, Department, and Location).
