Announcing New Compendium

We are happy to announce a new and improved Compendium will be released next month on Monday, October 11, 2004.  The changes were made in response to your requests for a better and faster way of locating reports. The new layout is similar to the main ad hoc reporting screen and has user friendly commands and function keys for navigation. A preview of the new main compendium menu is shown below.
