FORMATS

Use this screen to set up the formats of your NASA 533Q and 533M reports. Use the main screen to determine the type of lines used in a specific group and how those lines will roll together into a group to be subtotaled on the report. After establishing the report lines, use the Accounts subtask to link the lines to accounts, organizations, pools, or fees. Use this option to customize your reports to your specifications.

One format, STND (for the standard NASA 533 report), is already established in the Costpoint software when it is shipped. Note that the Accounts subtask, which is accessed by selecting the Link Accounts pushbutton, has not been completed for the STND format. You must still designate the accounts, organizations, etc., that will be summarized on the lines of the report.

Set up this screen, followed by the Project Info screen, before processing the Create NASA 533s screen.
