- Landscape: Option to print the view in the landscape format
- Subtitle: Option to enter additional information to be printed on the report
- Do not Track Section 2: Option to not track section 2 on-hand amounts (Section 2 are business supplies - the cost is a tax write-off, therefore, it is unnecessary to track the quantities of each item.)
- Do not Track Deluxe Minis: Option to not track Deluxe Minis or customer premium on-hand amounts (It is unnecessary to track for tax purposes as they are section 2 as well. Option is for inventory stock purposes.)
- Ideal Amounts: When the Default view is displayed, and the Ideals function is used, the number of months entered in the Ideal Amounts field will be used to calculate the amount of inventory to keep on hand based on the past year of sales (E.g. If you sold 36 in the previous year and want to keep 1 month on hand, the ideal level for the item would be 3).
