Each report has its own parameters, most of which are common to all reports. These are normally set using the Report Selection Criteria window and is different for each one.
You can override a Report Selection Criteria by adding parameters to a special section in the main configuration file. That is if a user may set a specific parameter in the report selection criteria window, it will be overwritten by that set in the main configuration file. This allows you to fix certain settings, for example the percentage mark-up in a billing report.
As an example, we can set the percentage mark-up in every Billing Report to 50% and set a surcharge of £1.00. To apply these settings, you need to edit the
file, located by default in
. Each report has its own ID number, e.g. the Billing Report has an ID of 2. This corresponds to the setting in the main configuration file that you need to alter.
