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: Open the side menu and tap Saved reports under Reports. 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 on the FILTERS tab — the rows vary by report type but typically include:

    • Type — include or exclude specific transaction types
    • Date and Due Date — tap Change to set a range
    • Status — filter by paid, unpaid, void, etc.
    • Customer — narrow to a single customer

    Sorting lives on the RESULTS tab (Sort by and Max Results), and the columns the report shows are checkboxes on the COLUMNS tab.

  4. Tap Apply — the report refreshes with your settings applied.

Save a Custom Report

  1. Tap the More menu (the expand icon in the action bar) and choose Save report as. This opens the Save Report screen, where you name a new report based on the current one.

  2. Type a name in Title of report.

  3. Optional: tick either dashboard checkbox.

    • Show a link to report in dashboard — puts a link to the report on your app home screen.
    • Show number of results in dashboard — shows how many results the report returns, right on that home screen link.
  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 Apply & Save to write the changes back to the same report (plain Apply runs them once without saving).

Good to Know

  • Built-in templates (shown in blue) cannot be deleted — use Save report as to keep your version under a new name before customizing.
  • Pin to your home screen — long-press any saved report and choose Show in dashboard for a link to it, or Show results in dashboard to show its result count too.
  • 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.
  • Exporting a Sales list itself (Invoices, Estimates, etc.) rather than a saved report? See How to Export Sales to CSV.
  • All saved reports belong to the currently active company — switch companies before running reports if you manage more than one.
