The system offers two types of reports:

• External reports

• QAD CRM generated reports

External Reports

There are two types of external reports:

• Those supplied with the system are called standard reports.

• Those that you add can be saved by any name, under any category of your choice. External reports can be added directly from the Reports screen, or by saving new instances of the existing standard reports. For details, see Adding External Reports.

QAD CRM-Generated Reports

There can be two types of QAD CRM-generated reports:

• Those reports that are viewed and then saved from a browser are called browser reports.

• Those that are created using the Query Builder and the Report Writer are called user-defined reports. For details, see Creating Browser Reports and Using the Report Writer.
