This release includes the ability to apply Conditional Formatting features from Excel 2007/2010 to your Kreg ReportWriter results.  This functionality will allow you to highlight variance information in reports using stoplights, other icons or color shading variance cells.

The example below demonstrates the capabilities of Conditional Formatting.  In this example, a monthly variance report has Conditional Formatting applied to the Year-to-Date variance percent column.  The Conditional Formatting is represented by stoplights where green indicates the variance is within acceptable user criteria, yellow means the variance is close to exceeding the user criteria and red exceeds the user variance criteria and intervention is required.  You define the criteria for the variances within each Report Writer report.

In this second example the Conditional Formatting is applied to the month-to-date variance amount field.  The report has also been sorted by this column with the largest negative variances at the top.

The requirements to use Conditional Formatting and other new features and benefits of this release include:

• Currently running Version 5.02 of  Kreg’s Budgeting software; and,
• All users must be running Excel 2007 or 2010 to produce and view the formatted reports.

(Please note Microsoft stopped supporting Excel 2003 in April 2010.)

Other new and notable features included in this release are:

• File Buffering On/Off Tool added to Security;
• Changes to Account Group editing in the Chart of Accounts;
• Group IDs display alphabetically –regardless of case;
• Users can access/run other user’s tasks/jobs;
• Type T in Report Writer – allows text to be placed in a specific cell
• Report writer <cp> can be used in calculation statements in report writer; and,
• New MCA reports across selected centers added to the menu.

Training is being offered via group WebEx sessions.  System documentation has been provided on the program CDs.  WebEx training sessions geared specifically to the Decorator features of the system will be held:

May 15, 2013 from 10:00 – 11:30 AM
