The first thing that you will need to do is generate reports. There are a number of reports that come pre-built with FAST Finance, often referred to as Baseline Reports. These can be found in the Operating Statement, Balance Sheet and Additional Reports menus.
With these and all other reports, you will need to use the reporting page to view and customize the reports.
To get started, select the report that you want to run.
When you open a report, it will open to the Filter page. This is where you will select the filters used to narrow your data results. Required filters are marked with a * required.
Once you have selected your filters, Click on the Execute Report button to run the report.
More details about using reporting pages can be found in the Help sections on Using the Reporting Pages.
