Cost To Complete generates a number of formatted reports to present your data effectively to colleagues or customers. With a range of options unique to each report, a clear and concise breakdown of what is essential can quickly be printed, exported, or sent using an intuitive report interface.
The Reports window is separated into two panes, the Available Reports in the upper pane and the Selected Reports in the lower pane.
Available Reports
The Available reports section of the Reports window lists all the reports that can be generated from within Cost To Complete. The reports that can be selected and printed are:
| Name | Description |

| Estimates to Complete | Prints a summary of the Cost Estimate for each Cost Code for a selected record date. |

| Resources | Prints a lists all resources available within the project. |
| Cost Codes | Prints a summary for all the codes used within the project. |

Note: The reports can be ordered alphabetically by clicking the option in the right-click context menu.
If there are reports that are not required, each report can be removed from view by selecting the Remove from view option from the Available reports right-click context menu or use the Remove Report button to the right of the window.
Reports can be reinstated to the view by using the Restore removed reports option in the Available reports context menu or the Restore Reports button then selecting the reports to be restored.
Selected Reports
The Selected Reports section lists the reports that have been marked as selected and are readily available to be formatted, printed or exported.
Note: Reports can be marked as selected by double-clicking on the report name in the Available Reports section or by clicking the Select option in the right-click context menu.
Once a report has been transferred to the selected reports section, it can then be formatted and either printed or exported to a number of file types. The export file types available are:
- Excel (.XLS)
- Spreadsheet (.CSV)
- Clipboard
- Adobe Acrobat Document (.PDF)
Selected reports can also be saved in a Report Group, where a standard set of reports required to be printed are coupled together. Formatting Options of the reports will be maintained if the option is not project specific (such are a sort order). Project-specific formatting options (such as the selection of a specific Record Date) is not maintained. The reports that make up a Report Group are marked as selected anytime a report group is opened.
