I have recently had a problem generating reports. I can get to the report page, but when I select a standard report, I get a blank screen.

A blank screen in your browser when generating a report happens when there are too many temporary files, such as cache build-up, Idemersco. 

 

To fix this, we need to perform some basic troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue. This includes clearing your cache or checking for other common issues. Let me go ahead and provide you with the details.

Initially, when generating a report, you have to make sure that you have properly set up your reporting period based on the information that you have in your transactions. From there, you'll be able to generate a report from the date range that you prefer.

However, if the issues still persist even after it's properly set up, we can now go further with the troubleshooting steps. Let's begin by accessing your account through a private browser or an incognito window. This is a good place to start since these browsers don't store cache.

 

Here are some keyboard shortcuts that you can refer:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl: + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N

 

If it works, this confirms the root cause of the problem, which is the browser itself. If so, we can now go back to the original browser and clear your browser's cache to eliminate all the unnecessary stored data
