There are three options located on the menu and also at the top of the page, as follows:

1. Clear Options - Clears all the fields on the page and resets it to the defaults.

2. Save Preferences - Saves the current configuration options for use at a later time. Saving configuration options allows for repetitive executions of a report without having to specify the options each time.

3. Preference Library - Allows the user to retrieve a saved preference file or delete an existing one. Clicking on the check mark icon next to the desired report loads the configurations into the Reports screen. Clicking on the delete icon deletes the preference file.
