Accessing the Progress Report There are two ways to create and access the Progress Report. a. From the existing Court icon, click on the Report icon. b. The Select Progress Report/Court Report dialog box displays. All existing Court Reports (old format) and new Progress Reports (new format) will display in the grid. c.
