Customize Reports

All reports are initially displayed on-screen and are filtered by default options. In addition to having the ability to view these reports for a different date or date range, you can also customize most reports by one or more custom filters to display reports for specific providers, patients, service location, payer type, payer scenarios, etc.

Follow these steps to customize a report:

1. Select the report from the Reports menu.

2. To select a different date range for the report, click the down-arrow on the right of the Date box to make a selection from the pre-set date ranges (e.g., Today, Month-to-Date, Quarter-to-Date, etc.). If you select “Custom”, you can manually enter a specific date range that better meets your needs (use the diagonal [/] symbol to separate the month, day and year). Click the Refresh button to view the report based on new date settings.

Note: In some instances, a report may only show a single date rather than a date range; however, the same principle applies in changing a single date as in changing a date range.

3. Click the Customize button on the upper right of the report task. This opens the Customize Report view.

You will note that most reports allow you to select one or more filters; which filters are available within any given report will depend upon the report being generated.

Below is a list of the most common filters available along with a brief description of the filter.
