View or Print Project Reports

You can view or print reports for projects linked to an opportunity, contract, or subcontract from the Manage Opportunities, Manage Contracts, or Manage Subcontracts screen.

Make sure that you have specified the parameters for viewing project reports for opportunities on the Configure Opportunity Settings screen and for contracts and subcontracts on the Configure Contract Management Settings screen before generating project reports in the Capture & Contracts domain.

To view or print a project report:

  1. On the Manage Opportunities or Manage Contracts screen, complete these steps:
    1. On the General tab, click the Projects Linked subtask.
      Note: If there are no projects linked to the opportunity or contract, no records display on this subtask and you will not be able to generate a project report.
    2. Click the row for the project for which you want to view or print a project report.

      If the linked project you are looking for is a lower-level project, and the table window displays only the top-level projects, expand the project's parent project or click Expand All to display all linked projects.

    3. On the toolbar, click the Preview Menu or Print Menu drop-down list, and select from the following options:
      • Project Status Report
      • Project Non-Labor Detail Report
      • Project Labor Summary Report
  2. On the Manage Subcontracts screen, complete these steps:
    1. On the General tab, make sure that a project is associated with the subcontract.
      Note: If the Subcontract Project ID field in the Subcontract Project Data group box is blank, you will not be able to generate a project report.
    2. On the toolbar, click the Preview Menu or Print Menu drop-down list, and select from the following options:
      • Project Status Report
      • Project Non-Labor Detail Report
      • Project Labor Summary Report

On all three screens, you cannot make any changes on the actual report parameters, but you can modify the Page Setup and Print Setup settings.
