Reports
Aspen provides powerful reporting tools. The system comes with nearly
200 standard reports and, more importantly, the ability to customize these
reports to suit your needs. Reports that are marked custom
will never be overwritten during an upgrade. From the Reports
side-tab, you can define new reports and customize
existing reports by changing their details.
