<b>Solution - Writing Generating and Editing a QuickPaint Report</b>

Defining a QuickPaint Report

1. Navigate to the Define QuickPaint Report window using your local Super HRMS Manager responsibility.
? (N) Processes and Reports > Define a QuickPaint Report

2. Enter the name XX_Employee_Contact_Details (where xx is your group identifier) and, optionally, a description for your report.

3. Enter a report header and labels for your data in the Report Definition area.

4. Select the Show Items button and run queries to find the database items you want to include in the report. Copy each item and paste it into the Report Definition area.

5. When you have the field labels and database items in the appropriate positions, save your work. This generates a formula.

Report Definition

Your report definition should be similar to the following:

Employee Contact Details
--------------------------------
Employee Number: &PER_EMP_NUMBER
Employee Name: &PER_FULL_NAME
Preferred Name: &PER_KNOWN_AS

Home Phone: &PER_WORK_PHONE

Address for Expenses: &PER_SEND_EXPENSES
