Once a Report is created, it can be saved and re-used. Reports can be Scheduled or run manually.

Output formats for Reports are as follows:

• .pdf
• .xls
• .xlsx
• .rtf
• .mht
• .html
• .txt
• .csv
• image

Views and Layouts can be used to customize the way data is displayed within Help Desk Premier. You can also re-use your Views and apply them to Reports. This allows you to create consistent ways of displaying your data across the entire application.

Scheduling Reports
