These instructions were written specifically for running and viewing iSolved reports on
your iPads. In iSolved’s list of reports, the six reports below were verified as working on
3/17/2017.
1) Quarterly Hour Report (timecard) Report Writer
2) Time Card Report Date Range
3) Timecard Expense Report with Proj Code Report Writer
4) Cell Phone Report (As of Date) Report Writer
5) Verification Status Report Writer
6) Hours Detail Export Date Range
Use the Quarterly Hour Report to monitor your enumerator’s accumulated hours in a quarter.
The Time Card Report is my primary report for reviewing enumerator’s hours and miles.
The Timecard Expense Report with Proj Code shows their expenses and associated notes.
The Cell Phone Report (As of Date) shows enumerator cell phone charges up to the date.
Verification Status shows the date & time stamp for each step of the verification process.
I read the Hours Detail Export into Excel using Visual Basic for Applications.
Follow the instructions that follow to run and view the Quarterly Hour Report on your
iPad. The other five reports should also work if you use the same technique.

First, enter iSolved by going through the link on Charlie Ingram’s NASDA-NASS website.
The NASDA-NASS link is here: http://www.nasda.org/NASS.aspx The reason for
entering iSolved this way is to keep the Safari address bar visible for the user. Using an
older icon sometimes results in no address bar visible. Click the iSolved Link on the
NASDA-NASS web page.

On the left, in the blue box, click on your name and then choose Supervisor View.
Supervisors choose the Supervisor View and NASDA Coordinator’s should choose the
Manager View. This reminds me of a book my children would read where Big Bear was
the big bear, and Little Bear was the little bear. I think it was called: “Let’s go home
Little Bear”.

After choosing the Quarterly Hour Report, on the right hand side, fill in these three
parameters: The From and To dates, and also choose 1500 – NASDA for the Legal
Company. Leave all of the other parameters untouched! That’s the only way I could get
the darn thing to work. The choices of quarterly dates to use for this report are:
1/1 to 3/31, 4/1 to 6/30, 7/1 to 9/30 and 10/1 to 12/31.

When the Status shows GENERATED and there’s a View Report link available, you’re
ready to view the results.
Okay, here’s the tricky part! Follow these instructions to the letter and you should be
able to see your report results.
In the My Reports Queue, press and hold on the View Report link on the right.
Press on the link just long enough until you see a white box with some options pop
up. You only need to press for a few seconds to get access to those options.
When you get the box, choose the Copy option. It will look kind-of/sort-of like the
image below. The image below is from windows on a computer and your view will
be from iOS on the iPad. So your Copy option will simply say Copy.
After choosing the Copy option, you’ve got the link stored in your iPad’s clipboard.

Here’s what to do with the link residing in your iPad’s clipboard. Go slowly and you’ve
got this.
In the upper-right of your screen, press the “+” sign to open a blank new tab in the Safari
App.
Very delicately, briefly tap in the address bar area of the new tab until you see a
“Paste” button. If you see a “Paste and Go” button – don’t choose that. Keep
briefly tapping until you get just the “Paste” button.
When you get just the “Paste” button, press on it. Hopefully, you now have the
copied report URL link in your address bar. It should look similar to what’s in the
image below. Without my red additions of course!
Apparently, the &KeepReport=true& text on the end is what has been preventing us from
seeing our iSolved reports on the iPad. I’ll show you how to get rid of that text now.
Here’s how to modify the link so it will work for you. Initially, your link will look similar
to this:
https://payrollnetwork.myisolved.com/ViewReport.aspx?hid=794152&KeepReport=true&
Our goal is to remove the text on the end and wind up with something like this:
https://payrollnetwork.myisolved.com/ViewReport.aspx?hid=794152
You’ll use the Backspace key to remove the unwanted text on the end. To do that, gently
press on the far right-hand side of the recently pasted URL. If you highlight the whole
URL, try again. If you press backspace while the whole link is highlighted, it will delete
all of it. Your task is to remove just this piece of text from the end: &KeepReport=true&
Once you’ve trimmed &KeepReport=true& off the right side of the URL, press “Go” on
your keyboard and cross your fingers.
Enjoy!
