After you organize a report in Tempo, you have many options regarding what you can do with the report. Let’s begin by discussing the four options in the upper right corner of the report window:

Clicking ‘clear report’ returns the window to its default status; in other words, it will show all your time slips from the previous seven days. The other options are very intuitive: ‘print report’ prints the current report, ‘lock entries’ will lock all the time slips in the time log, and ‘save report’ will save the report so you can return to it later.

What really separates Tempo from its comptetitors are the options provided by the tabs above the reports window. If you open the Downloads tab you can obtain hard copies of the report in both .PDF and .CSV format:

The Saved Reports tab is where you will find exactly that, your saved reports.

The Charts tab provides you with many different ways of viewing the report data. Choose from any of the options in the display, and the chart will appear:

For a further exposition on what each individual chart does, see our help section.

You can use your reports to easily create a Blinksale or Quickbooks invoice. Simply organize a report to contain the time slips you want to invoice, and then open the Invoice tab:

Use the buttons in the top right corner to choose between Blinksale and Quickbooks. After entering the necessary information, just click Create Invoice. Of course you need to have Quickbooks or Blinksale in order for this to work. You will also need to set up your Tempo account to work with these programs. For more information on how to do this, see our help section: Quickbooks or Blinksale.
