The Project Setup Report is a one-page report that provides information on the initialization of a range of projects. It contains data on a variety of setup screens in Costpoint Project Setup including Basic Info screen (Projects » Project Setup » Project Master), Modifications screen (Projects » Project Setup » Controls), Government Contract Info screen (Projects » Project Setup » Project Master), Basic Revenue Info screen (Projects » Project Setup » Revenue Setup), Project Billing Info screen (Projects » Project Setup » Revenue Setup), and the screens in the Project Ceilings and Project Labor menus. Although most of the information is self-explanatory, some of the data merely alerts you that a feature has been activated and that an additional screen may be required to review the specifics.
You can group this report by Project, Organization, Project Manager, Project Type, and Project Classification. You can include inactive projects.
You can print the report for any level of the project tree, but the information will print on the report only if it has been set up at that level. For example, if revenue has been set up at the second level and billing has been entered at the third level, printing the report at the second level will exclude the billing information from the report. An exception to this printing rule is modifications, which sum up from the lowest level of the project tree and will be displayed at the level entered and at all higher levels.
You may find it helpful to print this report, at each level necessary, for each project and retain it in an easily accessible place. You should print this report after you have initialized a project or whenever any of the information has changed.

Stored report parameters are especially useful if reports are to be run through the Batch Manager. When creating the batch job to be executed, the system uses the report stored in the report parameters to identify report criteria.
