Start Date

The first date to be included in the report.

Cost Center

• Include resources in – Includes time and cost data only for resources in or beneath the chosen cost center.

Currency

Open the drop-down menu to choose the currency in which monetary values will be reported.

Borrow/Loan Filter

This option enables reporting of data related to resources from one cost center working on engagements in a different cost center (hence the term Borrow/Loan). If you choose a cost center level name from the drop down, then the report will include only data involving loans at or above that level. For example, suppose the cost center levels (defined on the Edit Cost Center Rollup form) are Business Unit, Office, and Team. Choosing Office will produce a report showing loans between Business Units and Offices, but not between Teams in the same Office.
