Item Catalog Reports with Quick Report

The Item Catalog contains a great deal of information about items used at your site. You can use the Search facility to filter the Item Catalog list to target exactly the data that you want. This Quick Report requests information about items provided by vendor "6" (Owens & Minor, in this organization) that also belong to item class 10.

To create a Quick Report from the Item Catalog:

  1. From the main Contents, select Inventory > Item Catalog. The Quick Click menu appears.
  2. Select Search. The Search panel appears.

  1. On the left of the Search panel, enter information in fields to describe the items that you wish to see listed. The Search panel shown in this example will find all items whose Primary Vendor is 6 (Owens & Minor) in Item Class 10.
  2. Using Search words, you can specify a word or words that the item entry must contain. This field is useful if you know part of the Description of an item you are searching for, but not the complete Description.
  1. Click Submit. The system displays the Item Catalog containing items, as you specified in the search.
    Note that the list contains the Multi-Source column on the far right. We will remove this column in the Quick Report.

  1. Click Quick Report in the upper right of the list. The Item Catalog Quick Report appears:

  1. To format your report for printing, select File > Print Preview from the Microsoft Internet Explorer toolbar. The report appears as it will look when printed.

  1. Click Print. The Print panel appears. You can select the printer for your report, and, by clicking Properties, you can specify the Orientation on the page as either Portrait or Landscape output. (Landscape prints pages the on the "long" side, often useful for wide reports.) See To print a Quick Report for more tips on printing.
