51 51  * **"Start Date"**: You can choose the specific date for which you would like the report to begin giving information. The options for entry include a pop-up calendar which you can utilize by simply clicking on the small calendar icon on the right of the Start Date entry line OR you may enter the date in the space provided in MM/DD/YYYY format. NOTE: You will also see an option in this parameter for you to "Allow Run Override." This option is especially helpful if you plan on running the same style of report again at a later time with all the same parameters, but with different date ranges. Selecting the box for run override will allow you to simply enter a new start and end date when choosing to run your report instead of re-entering all the parameters.
52 52  * **"End Date"**: You can choose the specific date for which you would like the report to stop give information.

53 -* **"Force Timeframe"**: by checking this box, you necessitate that both of your assessment types (T1 and T2) fall into the date range you specified earlier. Alternatively, leaving this box unchecked would allow the initial assessment to fall outside of the date range since, normally, the date range only applies to the second assessment in your comparison.

54 54  * **"Instruments"**: The instrument option allows you to choose the specific assessment tool you would like the report to be run on. Upon clicking on the down arrow, a list of available options appear, from which you can choose your preferred instrument (e.g. "ANSA" or "CANS")
55 55  * **"Assessment Items"**: you can elect to choose which items from the assessment you are working with you would like to include in the report (e.g. the "Culture" section)
56 56  * **"From Assessment type"**: select which assessment you want to include in the report as your "point A"; note that these options are divide based on the juncture of the assessment and will form the basis of comparison with the "to assessment type"
