Explanation of the fields and buttons on the dialog
| Field/Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Report name | Enter a description of the report. |
| Resources to report on | Select the items on which you want to report. |
| Report type | Specify the type of report you want to produce, for example Permanent resource, Consumable resource or Cost centre. |
| Time slicing unit | Select the time unit over which you want report values to be averaged. The larger the time unit you select, the less detailed the report will be. For example, averaging values over a month will give less precise details than averaging over a day. |

If you select a working time unit in the Time slicing unit field, select the calendar that defines the length of the working time unit in this field. |
