The name of available reports for each report type is displayed in this area. Once you click on one of the reports you will notice that the Description area gets filled out with information about the report.
Parameters
The parameters section tells you what extra information ITrack needs to generate your report. Some reports require date ranges (like January 1st to January 31st), while others many need you in input a number (like a Customer ID).
Click on the parameter that you want to enter, then input your values into the textbox.
