Print Application Detail Report (Optional)

Before completing the end of year process in MSAClient, consider printing the full Application Detail report to PDF as an archive for your records.

Reports > Application Reports > Application Details - leave all default options checked and the dates unchecked so it pulls for "all time". Once the report has generated select Print (not Quick Print). Use the drop-down menu for Printer Name to select Microsoft Print to PDF > Print. Select the file location on the local or network drive and name the file 20XX-20XXSY Online Apps or some other suitable name. Then, click Print.  *It may take a few minutes while the file converts the data to PDF format.

Alert: Districts with application numbers over 5k should consider chunking the report by setting reasonable date ranges. An example is run the report once from 7/1 to 9/1 and again from 9/2 to 6/30 of the following year.

Note: Prior year applications are also always accessible in MSAClient > Utilities > Miscellaneous > Prior-Year Database > login as usual
