What do you want to do?

Include all cases. Change the value assigned to the Case.Case number to All. Note: This option is not recommended. It will require extra time to process payments for all dates. Caselle recommends using a specific date range.

Let me choose which cases to include. Double-click the value assigned to the Case.Case number field. Then, use the Values Entry form to enter a number, range, or series. Use a comma (,) to separate each entry. Use a dash (-) to separate a range.
Use a different field to filter data. Double-click the column labeled Column. Then, use the Selection form to move the fields that you will use to filter data to the Selected Criteria Fields list.
