How to View iSolved Reports on your iPad These instructions were written specifically for running and viewing iSolved reports on your iPads. In iSolved’s list of reports, the six reports below were verified as working on 3/17/2017. 1) Quarterly Hour Report (timecard) Report Writer 2) Time Card Report Date Range 3) Timecard Expense Report with Proj Code Report Writer 4) Cell Phone Report (As of Date) Report Writer 5) Verification Status Report Writer 6) Hours Detail Export Date Range Use the Quarterly Hour Report to monitor your enumerator’s accumulated hours in a quarter. The Time Card Report is my primary report for reviewing enumerator’s hours and miles. The Timecard Expense Report with Proj Code shows their expenses and associated notes. The Cell Phone Report (As of Date) shows enumerator cell phone charges up to the date. Verification Status shows the date & time stamp for each step of the verification process. I read the Hours Detail Export into Excel using Visual Basic for Applications. Follow the instructions that follow to run and view the Quarterly Hour Report on your iPad. The other five reports should also work if you use the same technique. F:\NASDA\Documentation\Creating and Viewing iSolved Reports on the iPad Instructions April 2017.docx 4/3/2017 Page 1 of 14

How to View iSolved Reports on your iPad Here’s what to do with the link residing in your iPad’s clipboard. G o slowly and you’ve got this. In the upper-right of your screen , press the “+” sign to open a blank new tab in the Safari App.  Very delicately, briefly tap in the address bar area of the new tab until you see a “Paste” button. If you see a “Paste and Go” button – don’t choose that. Keep briefly tapping un til you get just the “Paste” button.  When you get just the “Paste” button, press on it. Hopefully, you now have the copied report URL link in your address bar. It should look similar to what’s in the image below. Without my red additions of course! Apparently, the &KeepReport=true& text on the end is what has been preventing us from seeing our iSolved reports on the iPad. I’ll show you how to get rid of that text now. Here’s how to modify th e link so it will work for you. Initially, your link will look similar to this: https://payrollnetwork.myisolved.com/ViewReport.aspx?hid=794152&KeepReport=true& Our goal is to remove the text on the end and wind up with something like this: https://payrollnetwork.myisolved.com/ViewReport.aspx?hid=794152 You’ll use the Backspace key to remove the unwanted text on the end. To do that, gently press on the far right-hand side of the recently pasted URL. If you highlight the whole URL, try again. If you press backspace while the whole link is highlighted, it will delete all of it. Your task is to remove just this piece of text from the end: &KeepReport=true& Once you’ve trimmed &KeepReport=true& off the right side of the URL, p ress “Go” on your keyboard and cross your fingers.
