The Reporting Period selection criteria can be used to narrow down the time frame for which details will be included in the report output. In this version of a Date control, you have the option of specifying:
Day/Week/Semi-Month/Month/Quarter/Year -- This report can be run with various intervals.
Note that if you have enabled the Allow Creation of and Show Fiscal Calendar Options (unanet.fiscal_calendar.enabled) property, additional 'fiscal' period options will be available in the drop-down.
Fiscal periods must be established via the Admin >> Setup >> Fiscal Year screen in order to be available for use in reporting. Specific Fiscal Periods appearing in drop-down lists will be a concatenation of Fiscal Year Name w/ Accounting Period.
Start Date -- You can specify a specific Start date by either typing in the dates directly or using the calendar control. The report will begin with the period containing the date that you supply.
Named Date Range -- You can specify a named date from the list of available built-in values. This approach may be particularly helpful if you plan to save the criteria.
