How to Customize and Save Reports

Saved reports in MobileBiz Pro can be filtered, sorted, and configured with the exact columns you need — then saved so you can run the same report again in seconds.

What You'll Need

Before you start: Go to Reports from the side menu, then tap the Saved Reports tab. You'll see the built-in report templates listed there.

Steps

Filter a Report

  1. Tap any report on the Saved Reports tab to open it.

  2. Tap the Filter icon in the action bar (top right). This opens the filter screen.

  3. Set your filters — options vary by report type but typically include:

    • Date range — set a start and end date
    • Transaction types — include or exclude specific types
    • Status — filter by paid, unpaid, void, etc.
    • Sort order — choose which column to sort by and the direction
    • Visible columns — check or uncheck columns to show or hide them
  4. Tap Apply — the report refreshes with your filter settings applied.

Save a Custom Report

  1. Tap the More menu (the expand icon in the action bar) and choose Copy. This creates a new report based on the current one.

  2. Enter a name for your custom report on the Save Report As screen.

  3. Optional: check "Show on Dashboard" to display this report's result count on your app home screen.

  4. Tap Save — your custom report now appears on the Saved Reports tab.


Update an Existing Custom Report

If you've already saved a custom report and want to tweak its filters:

  1. Open the report from the Saved Reports tab.
  2. Tap the Filter icon and adjust your settings.
  3. Tap the Save icon in the action bar to save the changes back to the same report.

Good to Know

  • Built-in templates (shown in blue) cannot be deleted — always copy them first before customizing.
  • Pin to Dashboard — long-press any saved report and choose Show on Dashboard to surface its result count on your home screen.
  • Date range for Summary Reports (Sales By Month, Sales By Customer, etc.) is set via the Year menu in the action bar — not the filter screen.
  • PDF export requires internet. If you're offline, use the Export results option (CSV) from the More menu instead.
  • All saved reports belong to the currently active company — switch companies before running reports if you manage more than one.
