Custom Payroll Reports

Author Image Written by Tasya O'Connell

Users can now create custom reports and save them alongside other existing reports for future use. Pre-existing report templates can be selected, or a new report can be built using a range of display column options. The report columns can also be easily organised by dragging and dropping them into the preferred order. 

Any created custom reports can be added to report packs and will be available for selection when managing user access. Custom reports can be created by going to the Reports section within Payroll settings.
