Print Commit Report Screen

Use the fields on the Print Commitment Report screen to set up selection filters, sort options, and other parameters for printing commitments that were calculated by the Compute Commitments process.

Depending on your role or function, uses of this report include the following:

• Supervisors may use it to print outstanding commitments for their employees.
• Project managers may use it to print outstanding commitments for specific project.
• An accounts payable clerk may use it to print outstanding commitments for certain groups of employees.

Parameter ID and Description Fields

Use the first two fields to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field	Description
Parameter ID	Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen. When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query. You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.
Description	Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
