Sort, Filter, Print & Export Reports


Article Summary

Depending on which Procare modules you are using you may print a variety of different reports such roll call sheets, birthday lists, immunization and scheduling reports (some with graphs), customer statements, attendance sheets, meal counts, menus, tax deposit information, overall financial reports and so forth.

Getting There

From the main screen of any module, like Family Data & Accounting, click the Reports menu (toward the top left) and select Standard Reports.
Note: You may also be interested in Data Viewer where you select fields to include in your own custom view.

Select, Sort and Filter Reports

  1. At the Report Setup screen several primary categories of reports may be listed like Family Data, Family Accounting, etc. Click the plus sign (+) next to a primary category (like Family Data) to expand the list.

  3. Various types of reports may be shown within the category. Select the report you wish to run such as the “Weekly: 5 Day, Schedule, Initials” sign in sheet. Reports that have the word “Schedule” in the title require the child to have a current schedule in order to be included on the report.

    A brief description of the selected report appears in the bottom left corner.

  4. Search & Find: You may also search for a report by name—such as all reports with the word “enroll” (image below). Just press Ctrl+F on your keyboard, type a word, and choose Find. That word will be highlighted to help you quickly find what you’re looking for.
