Customisation - Reports built in the Report Builder are completely customisable by either the builder within your institution,or build your own or via the Silverband help desk if assistance is required. Other reports are “hard coded” and are used by all Paradigm users and are not able to be altered or changed. For more information on these please contact the Silverband help desk.
Implications
