Almost daily our customers ask us for reporting that is not easily achievable out-of-the-box. We have created two products to address this:</li> <li><strong>GP Reports:</strong> A collection of reports that are currently available in Crystal Reports and SmartList Builder formats. SQL Reporting Services reports are on the way so please check back soon if you are interested in this format. All of these reports need to be installed using our GP Reports Installer.</li> <li><strong>GP Reports Viewer:</strong> For customers that would like to use Crystal Reports (either ones we create or your own) our GP Report Viewer allows you to run Crystal Reports directly from GP and control security as well as other report settings using security within GP.</li> </ol> </dt> <br /><a class="closetips" href="#" onclick="fnHideTip('001')" title="Click to Close FAQ">Close FAQ</a> </dl> <dl> <dd class="dl_image">&nbsp;</dd> <dd class="dl_head"><a href="#" onclick="fnViewTip('002')" title="Click to View FAQ">Why GP Reports?</a></dd> <dt id="tip002"><strong>GP is great.</strong> But not every company is the same and the out-of-the-box reports do not always satisfy the needs of every company.</dt> <br /><br /><a class="closetips" href="#" onclick="fnHideTip('002')" title="Click to Close FAQ">Close FAQ</a> </dl> <dl> <dd class="dl_image">&nbsp;</dd> <dd class="dl_head"><a href="#" onclick="fnViewTip('003')" title="Click to View FAQ">Where do I get more information about GP Reports?</a></dd> <dt id="tip003"> Please visit our <a href="gpreports.html" title="GP Reports">GP Reports Viewer</a> page for details on the reports we currently offer as well as information about our GP Reports Viewer.
