You can filter the information in your reports in the same general way as you filter any other information.
Some fields have preset filters which can be selected from a drop-down list. For example, Client Type can be filtered by Limited Company, Individual, Trust, etc.
Other fields allow you to search for and select criteria from your database to be used as filters. For example, Client Name can be filtered by single clients.
You can also select and apply a maximum of five filter criteria to the same field, using the Or … columns.
For more information about filters, see Filters.
