Q: Is there a direct way to access the Commission Statement Summary?

Note: The Commission Statement Summary is the same for all records in the statement batch. 

 

Q: Can the Commission Statement Summary be saved to a file?

A: Yes.  There is an option when the report is being viewed through the Report Viewer screen to save the file to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file.   Within the Commission Statement Summary report (see the Commission Statement Report topic) opened in the right-hand view pane of the View Reports window, right-mouse click anywhere in the report data, select Export to Microsoft Excel

Note: The Commssion Statement Summary is an over run summary and is a separate report from the commission statement being viewed.  It does not have to be ran for each statement.

 

Q: How can the commission statement be emailed to various parties?

 

A: You will have to save out a PDF file for each person and then attach it to an email, or open the PDF and use the email functionality in Adobe.  Right now when you click on the save button the commission statements for whoever are checked will be combined into a single PDF file.  So if you want each to be a separate file you need to check them one by one when saving.

 

Q: What if I just want to save, email, print a single page of the commssion statement?

 

The Report Viewer has two separate save, print, and email options that will allow a user to perform these tasks for all selected records or for the single statement being currently viewed.
