Frequently Asked Questions
Can I write my own reports?
Yes. You can purchase the Clarion Report Writer® from Soft Velocity Corp. This program uses Wizards to walk you through the process of creating your own reports accessing Simple Accounting data. Reports can be password protected for privacy. The Clarion Report Writer is great for those ad hoc reports that we all need from time to time. To give you an idea of what you can do: most Simple Accounting standard reports and forms are prototyped on Report Writer.
However: to create complex reports, involving many different tables such as sales history summaries and such, it is probably best to have us provide you with a custom report, since complex reports require a fairly strong knowledge of our data file structures. We’re not trying to discourage anyone from trying (some of our customers have created quite elaborate reports, in fact!).
