Contextual Help - Administration: Task Report by Date

The Task Report by Date is useful to perform a date-based search. Optionally, you can set a date range for the beginning and the end of your report. It displays the following date fields: Start, Due-Date, Created, and last Update. By default, this report shows all incomplete tasks for all projects.

This window has 3 parts: the title bar, the search bar and the task list

  • The title bar tells you where you are in AceProject.
    • At the end of the title bar you will find the link to contextual help.
    • The Printer Version link opens a window that contains only the tasks that correspond to your search criteria. You can even choose the number of tasks per page.
    • The Export link opens a window that allows you to export the task report by date that is displayed on your screen. Export is available in two formats: CSV and pure Excel.
      • The following options can be set when exporting:
        • Column Delimiter (separate items with a comma, a semicolon or with tabulation).
        • Decimal Symbol (dot or comma)
        • Date Format
        • Export On-Screen Columns Only (un-checking this box will export hidden columns as well).
        • Remove HTML Tags (un-checking this box will export all HTML code that may have been used for text formatting).
    • The title bar will also display your total number of tasks that correspond to your search. 
  • The search bar is used to filter the information you want in the report. You may choose the search criteria you need and click "Apply Filter".
    • You can set two dates for the beginning and the end of your report. For each date:
      • Choose the date field to perform the search on: Start, Due-Date, Created, and Last Update.
      • Choose the operator:
        • < means "before" the date selected.
        • < or =  means "on or before" the date selected.
        • =  means "on" the selected date.
        • > or =  means "on or after" the selected date.
        • > means "after" the date selected.
      • Choose the date. You can type it directly or click on the button to pick it from a calendar.
