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 amend 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 a surcharge of £1.00. To apply these settings, you need to edit the main.cfg file, located by default in {app}\tim\config. 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.
Open the the main.cfg file using Notepad and in the [Report Customisations] section, add or amend the line Report2Extra to read:
In this instance, when a billing report (ID = 2) is run, these extra settings are forced upon the reporting engine and override any values that the user has selected.
 | To configure these settings, we strongly recommend to contact our Technical Support team for assistance. |
