Use Options to Focus Your Report

For example, you can generate the report for one organization or you can include only hourly employees in the utilization statistics.

To run this report as a cash-basis report, you must select Cash-Basis Reporting on the Reporting tab of the Accounting System Settings form(Settings > Advanced Accounting > System).

The Organization Record Access option in Security Settings specifies which organizations your security role has access to on reports, including this one.
