Filtering Reports

 

If you click the "Display Filters" checkbox before you Run a report a form will open allowing you to set a filter for the Report. In the example below, I want the Pick List Report that only displays Items assigned to the "Rough-In" or "Trim" Phase:

In addition to filtering via this feature, you can also filter within the Project Editor and then click the "Filtered Items" or "Selected Items" option on the Reports tab prior to running your report:

Here you can choose whether to run your reports for Filtered Items, or Selected Items. You can also choose whether or not to include Accessories or Alternates on your Proposal reports.

Foreign Currency

 

Within a Project, his option allows you to add a conversion rate that will be applied to the price of Items in the Project.

Sync Down Thumbnails

 

This option will be rarely used. It is intended for you to sync any Item Image changes that have taken place in the SI 2016 Catalog since you last opened the SI 2016 Client. Item Images will automatically sync with the SI 2016 Catalog when you open the SI 2016 Client.
