Generating Report Binders

The Generate Report Binder dialog box enables you to specify the parameters needed to create a report. When you open a schedule in a view and run Generate Report Binder, the report binder is applied to the current view and incorporates only the tasks within the current filtered view.

The report binder is generated and returned through the browser as a document. When you run Generate Report Binder, you have the option to open it immediately or to save it to disk as a ZIP file.

To generate a report binder:

1. Open a schedule in a Task List, Gantt, or Calendar view.
2. Optional: Apply filters to reduce the number of displayed tasks.
3. Perform an action:
