To open the Report Center:
Choose Reports > Report Center.
To use Report Center:
Select a report from the left bar. The report you select displays in the center.
• Search for a report. Enter one or more words in the Search box in the top right corner of the Report Center.
QuickBooks finds all reports with those words in the report title or description and lists then in the left pane. To
see all your reports again, click the X in the Search box.
• Browse available reports. The left pane of the Report Center lists all your reports in groups that you can
browse. You can also click the arrows at the bottom of the right side of the center to browse through your
reports. When you find the one you want, double-click it to open it or click Display at the bottom of the center.
• Change the report date range. Use the date controls at the bottom of the Report Center to change the date
range and then double-click the report to open it with the new dates.
• Add reports to your favorites. In the left pane of the Report Center, select the name of a report and click the
star located to the left of the title. The report now displays in the Favorite Reports list at the top of the pane so
you can easily find it.
• Customize a report. Choose a report and click Customize at the bottom of the Report Center. You can then
change the information covered in the report.
• Print a report. Select a report and click Print at the bottom of the Report Center. Or open the report and choose
File > Print Report or Command-P. To fit the entire report on one page, choose QuickBooks from the print
options pop-up menu and select the Shrink to Fit checkbox.
Customizing your report
After you create a report (Reports > Report Center), you can use filters, date ranges, and other features to
customize the data on the report so you see what most important to you.
For example, a sales by customer summary report initially shows your sales to all customers for the current month
to date. This would be too much information if all you wanted was to see this month's sales to one of your
customers. You can apply filters, either one at a time or in combination with each other. Each additional filter you
apply further restricts the content of the report.
Adding a filter
You can add filters to filter the report to show just the information you want.
To add a filter:
1 In the Report window, click Filters at the top of the report.
2 On the filters window, select the checkbox next to the filter you want to use.
3 Set the options for the filter, if needed.
