PRINT LABOR UTILIZATION REPORT
Use this report to analyze the employees' utilization: direct vs. indirect. Because the definition of "direct" can vary from company to company, numerous options are provided for inclusion/exclusion of various types of projects.
Location
Identification
Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve
a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen
selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related
parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes
more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are
also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of
a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different
way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter
ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters
automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print
options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any.
You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Parameter ID
Enter, or click 
to select, a parameter
ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter
ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such
as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.
When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are
stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using
Query.
You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because
you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections.
After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the
defaults.
Description
Enter, or click to select, a parameter
description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
