This page is extremely complicated. If you are having difficulty with it, ask the IT department for assistance. You may also be able to find the report you need under "Generate Report" in the sidebar.

The output index page is used to print PDF reports. It replicates most of the functionality of the reporting section of the old SDS.

The easiest way to use this page is to click the quick buttons at the top. Clicking one of these buttons will automatically fill in the rest of the form with the settings required to generate the corresponding report. For example, clicking the Alpha-Advisor button, then clicking the Print button at the bottom of the page will output an Alpha-Advisor report to your screen.

You can also generate your own custom report by filling in the columns you want yourself. Choose which columns to display (and whether you'd like lines between each column), then set the filter options. One noteworthy option is the printer setting, which will determine what printer to print to. You can output to screen using the screen options, or you can output to any of a number of printers using those corresponding options.
