Exception reports are very easy to build in FSG. When you define a column set, you can also define exception conditions for any or all of your column definitions. FSG will apply these exception conditions to any report which uses the column set.

For example, assume you’re building a variance report and you want to flag any variance amount which exceeds $50,000. In the variance amount column definition you simply create an exception condition which tells FSG, ”if the amount in this column is greater than 50000, print an asterisk character.”
