The Work Order Summary 2 Report is a great report to run. Almost any information you are looking for can be found in this report. It gives a nice breakdown of each work order that meets your report criteria: the status, the current "assign to", the requester, the days aged, labor hours, and total costs accrued. Depending on how you sort your results, you will get a total for each "grouping" and then a grand total for all the work orders combined.

Click on Report in the Actions menu, and then click on Work Order.

In Step 1, identify the Reporting Period by either choosing a predefined date range from the drop down list or entering custom begin and end dates.
