# New/Edit Report window

- Note: this window is only included in the standard edition of Simon, not Simon Express and Simon Free. Learn more...

The New Report and Edit Report windows are typically accessed via the Reports window when the FileNew Report... or FileEdit Report... menu commands, or the corresponding toolbar buttons, are chosen.

This window is divided into four pages. Below is a brief description of each; click on the page name for more information about each:

Summary: The first page includes fields where you can name this report and write comments about it, plus an overview of the other pages.

Options: This page lets you specify how often this report should be output, what pages to generate, what template to use, etc.

Report Kind: Choose the report plug-in on this page. Simon uses plug-ins to do the actual output, allowing greater flexibility and expandability.

Auto Pause: This feature allows you to suspend this report on specified days (or any day) and times. Useful to avoid outputting reports when you know nobody will view them.
