1.1	34	Next, we will discuss the various parameters you can change in running your report. Note: you can choose to review each parameter individually by clicking on the down arrow next to each parameter (e.g. "Start Date") or you may alternatively elect to expand/collapse all the parameters simultaneously with the "-/+" options on the top left of the right pane.

6.1	36	* "Client Status": you can select whether to incorporate data from only active or inactive clients, or both

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.
	38	* "End Date": You can choose the specific date for which you would like the report to stop give 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."

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.
