SimplyReports Training
Wednesday, August 26
9am-12pm
Finger Lakes Library System conference room
SimplyReports is an Add-on product available from Polaris. The program allows the user to create custom reports using SQL (System Query Language) without requiring the user to learn SQL. It allows you to custom design a report based on criteria YOU select. If a canned report in Polaris does NOT do everything you wish it would, does NOT display the information in the order you would like it to be in, or is missing information that you feel is relevant, you can design a report that has all those missing aspects. The class will cover how to create, save, edit, and schedule reports. Useful canned reports will also be included. Registration is required and limited to 10 participants. Register
