Again, ISIS has done a super job on explaining how to use the system, from point to poin. Toward 2000 is grateful for that.

Regarding the schedules and reports in general, it would be very nice if ISIS could include the sample screenshots of the reports. The other thing that is not mentioned is that whether or not a "print" button is needed if our staff would like to print out the reports.

There are no Daily Schedule Report, Weekly Schedule Report, Monthly Schedule Report and Yearly Schedule Reports buttons that apprear in the forms indicated.
