<p>Unlike Filters, Options differ depending on the report being run. Some 
reports do not have any options. Because all options are not available 
on all reports, only the options that can be used with the report 
selected will be shown. All other options will be greyed out and can not
 be selected.</p>

<img src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_enterprise/options.png" alt="Options" />

<p>Upon selecting the Option, then click on the <span class="button">Add</span> button to add this option or just select the <span class="button">Close</span> button if you no longer want to include this Option.</p>
