    Generating Reports In IS

    Generating reports in IS follows the same procedure, regardless of the report. Each report,

    however, has its own parameters or search criteria.

    Reports may be viewed on screen or printed to your IS printer or via your web browser. Printing

    using an IS printer is the preferred printing method; the reports were designed for IS printers. Ifyou choose to print via the web, the report may not fit on the page properly, and you may need to

    change the page orientation from portrait to landscape.
