Select Maintenance > Business > Report Settings to access this function.

Each Back-of-House report you run from the Reports menu for Aloha Configuration Center, Aloha Manager, and Aloha Kitchen provides a Settings dialog box for establishing the parameters under which to run the report. Use Report Settings to establish default selections for these reports so that you do not have to enter them each time you run the report. You can also “lock down” the selections so that anyone running the report cannot make changes to your selections.

Report Settings types

There is a corresponding report type available in the Report list box when you click the New drop-down arrow for every report you can run from the Reports > Aloha Manager, Reports > Aloha Configuration Center, or the Reports > Kitchen menu option (select AK in the product panel first). You can only have one default report record for each report type.

Settings tab

Use the Settings tab to establish whether to use the default selections when the report is run and whether to lock down the selections so that they cannot be changed.

Group Bar: Settings

Name — Identifies the report and appears in the ‘Report’ text box when you run the report from the Reports menu.

Group Bar: Behavior

Default — Indicates to populate the Settings dialog box that appears when you run the report with the default selections established here; however, you can change the selections when you run the report. Related Options: If you also select ‘Locked,’ you cannot change the default selections when you run the report.

Locked — Indicates the default values are “locked” in place. The default selections appear in the Settings dialog box when you run the report and are not available for selection or change.

Options tab

The Options tab mirrors the selections that appear in the Settings dialog box for each report. If you attempt to save the selections on the Options tab before making a required selection, a message appears letting you know how to correct the issue.
