inFlow Inventory contains a variety of reports that you can use to view financial and inventory information. Each report has various settings that you can use to customize the content and layout of the report to suit your needs.
Web
Adjusting your report
Go to Main Menu > Reports to select the report you want to generate. From here, you can choose what specific information you want to be displayed by selecting filters and groupings.
- Select the Filters button to choose what information you want in that specific report. Select each item from that drop-down that you want to view. You will notice that as you select each product, that category will be added to the top bar of the page.
- Next, for each of those categories selected, you can filter within them. Select each of those categories, select what you want to filter by, and press Apply, as seen in the example image below, where we have selected to view only orders in the Last 30 days.
- Once you have selected all of your filters, press the Generate button to create the report!
- You can sort the report by each column in ascending or descending order by going to the column headings and clicking on the name of the heading, where an arrow will appear.
All filters setting
Your current filters are listed below the Filter By heading. First comes the filter name, then the box for entering a filter option.
There are different filters available for different reports, and clicking on the filter name lets you choose a different filter (e.g., switch Order Date to Invoice Date). All available filters are listed in the resulting drop-down menu, as well as the option to Add or Remove a filter from the report.

Yes, thanks! 
Not really 
These settings do not seem to stick. Every time I go back in here I have to re-choose the sorting and display options. How is this not a simple web cookie? It SHOULD be an actual setting but I would settle for it just remembering the last options used.
