Glossary of Technical Services Reports

CAP runs a variety of Symphony reports which serve many different purposes. Primarily, reports are used to catch errors and refer them to the appropriate staff. Most relevant reports are run under the SCRCAT login. The table below lists these reports. CAP reports use the first word of the report title to identify its primary function (e.g. Orders, Authority etc.).
