Inquiries

Tips image Saving Reports

If you inquire in CSV format it can be saved to removable media, your hard drive or your network. This provides you with the option to manipulate the data to better meet your needs. However, please note that, if you save large reports on your PC or network, they will remain there until you delete them. If the report is not something you need to keep electronically, you may consider saving it with the same name each time so that you do not retain multiple copies that take up valuable space.
