In ecPayroll system, reports can be generated from both system front-end (i.e. Web App), and back-end (i.e. TAMS). In this session, we will show you how to do it in system back-end.

 

Please follow the steps below:

 

1          In main screen, click the [Reporting] button from the main toolbar.

 

 

2          Select a report that you want to generate, there are 3 ways to choose a report:

2.1         From the report list on the left, under the "Standard reports” node, select a report under different category.

 

 

2.2         From the report list on the left, under the “Recent reports” node, the last 10 generated reports will be shown here. You can choose a report from here.
