Search Types - Pay Run Report

There are three options for running each report type and it is necessary to make sure to select the correct option in order to get the information you desire. This section will show possible options for each type of report and how they work.
To start, open an existing report or create a new report. The available Search Types will differ depending on the Report Type selected.

Search types are found directly above the Design View. Pay Run reports have two Search Type options which work by combining Report Builder Settings with Pay Run Search Options or Time Period Search Options.
