1) Saves time - Printing all of the information included in FMS Web would take far longer than using FMS Web ... and then there's the time you'll save on filing.

2) Saves paper - A complete transactions list might take 200+ pages. With FMS Web it is instantly available, instant searchable, and you can "cut and paste" details as required.

3) Improved Cost Reporting - All details supporting your Cost Report are included

4) E-mail ready - You can send a copy of all of these reports to Completion Guarantors and production partners in a few minutes. (Password protected e-mail is recommended)

5) Easy Archiving - You can build up a library of Cost Report snapshots over a period of time (if required). 

6) Intranet/Internet ready - You can easily publish your Cost Reports to your Intranet or the Internet (A secure site is recommended)

2. Reduce browser text size: If you are using Internet Explorer, do this via the View | Text Size option to view wide reports on one browser 'page'.

3. Use Ctrl-F: When browsing a report, press Ctrl-F, type in the information you are looking for, and then click on 'Find Next' (Remember you can move 'Up' and 'Down' using the Ctrl-F options.)

4. Budget Report: The 'Budget" report option always puts you at the top of the Budget Index which makes it easy to navigate large budgets.

5. Use your browsers Back and Forwards buttons: These buttons put you back to where you were when you were last in a page i.e. you don't 'lose your place'.

6. To send an individual report: select the repot using your browser, and then, from your browser menu, select Tools | Mail and News | Send Page. Your e-mail client will open and you can then enter the recipients address and send the page.
