  2. Expand the sub menu using the same + / - options


  3. A list of the available reports will appear

  4. Click on the name of the report in the main menu navigation panel


  5. The example below shows what would happen if you had selected the Formation Listing report
  6. The working panel will change to show the appropriate report options. The Formation Listing report example requests you to select the Formation that you wish to produce the report for.
