Viewing a report

ArteMIS allows you to view reports as Pivot Tables or Database Lists. The availability of each type depends on the report you have selected.

The Reports screen is divided into two sections. The Categories section (on the left side of the screen)contains a list of report types; the right section contains a list of reports of the selected type.

  1. If you already have a report open in Microsoft Excel, close it before viewing a new report that will use Microsoft Excel.

  2. In the Categories section, click on a report category.
    For example, if you want to view a report about library stock, click Stock Profiling.
    The right section will list the available reports of the selected type.
