The datasets that appear in the Dataset Treeview are populated with the results of searches made through the Search form.
The Treeview Explorer displays record information in a hierarchical arrangement. In the treeview panel, you are able to expand or contract a record with a click on the arrow beside the record icon.
For example, on a search that retrieves tax map records, when you double-click on the tax map, it lists name information at the next level. Each item can be expanded to show specific data on the property, such as owner and occupant names, parcel information and location, permits, utility billing and accounts receivable records.
The Self Reported Business Tax Treeview will display the ST requisite OpenForms, i.e. Self Reported Tax, Self Reported Tax Occasional, and the Self Reported Tax Zero Filer.
NOTE: The forms that are displayed in the treeview are dependent upon admin setup in the GNA Profile Editor and/or assigned access provided through the Govern Security Manager (GSM) |

SSRS Report name: co_genssrsgprpt
Batch Process Name: Generate SSRS Report by Groups
Read More... The report will provide the records of groups for the .PDF file. For example, a query generates 1000 records. In our report we will specify that the resulting record set of 1000 parcels be divided into N groups; where N = 10. The resulting record set is broken up into 10 groups consisting of 100 parcels per group. Both the number of groups to print (N), and the Year will be hard coded in the report as a parameter. During processing, the SSRS report will create a temporary table, (Table: PID_GROUP), to manage the breaking up of the parcels into groups. The SSRS report will use the following SQL functions: This batch process will print or save .PDF files of all groups it finds in a defined folder. For our example, the Batch Process will scan and locate the 10 groups, and will process 10 times, in order to generate the 10 .PDF files that will contain the record details. For more information see General OpenForms Batch ProcessingFunctionality
Report
NOTE: The temporary table name is selected at the users discretion.
Batch Process
To process, the groups, the user will need to set a path to the location where the .PDF files will be generated to.
NOTE: This is a standard batch process and definition that is designed exclusively for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reporting.

This is a new computation method for the Late Filing Levies and the Late Payment feature of Self-Reported Business Tax (ST). This new method was introduced for the current 6.0.1706 and 6.1.1706, 6.1.1707 and greater releases. See below for details about this new method.
The following system and UI changes can be associated with this feature implementation.
There is a new entry under the Self-Reported Tax Registry Filter in the OpenForms General Settings (System registry Registry) form. There is a Force Late Filing Levies Method Date. While the default date of 1/1/0001 is present in the parameter, the Late Filing Levy Method will not be enforced. When any another date is entered, the late filing method will be enforced.
NOTE: Within Govern some settings that appear in the OpenForms General Settings form (SY_REGISTRY), may have other locations that can override the system registry settings form. This location is the only point in which the Force Late Filing Levies Method Date parameter can be overridden. |
Previously, the Late Filing Penalty and Late Payment Penalty group boxes were hidden conditionally. Entries were required in the A/R Class and Late Payment parameters in order to display the Late Filing group and Late Payment Penalty group boxes respectively. Both groups are now visible.

For the Late Payment Penalty group, when there is no A/R Class selected in the combo, the penalty is broken down by A/R Class, i.e. associated with each levy’s A/R class, and the Minimum/Maximum Amount does not apply to the total return, rather, it is per A/R record. The amounts are applied to each penalty record created.
At the bottom of the Levies sub tab form is the Late Filing Levy combo-box. This parameter is used to link a levy to a Late Filing Levy.
In the Computation Method group, the Late Filing Levy combo box is available for all radio button options, i.e. Base X Rate, Fixed Amount, etc. The Late Filing Levy can be linked with the currently selected levy code.
In the Computation Method group of the Levies sub tab form is a new Late Filing Levy radio button option. The new Computation Method, when selected, noticeably absent are the Rate Type, Computation Information groups, and the Late Filing Levy combo box.
When the new computation method, Late Filing Levy is selected, A/R Class must be selected. For this option the only two (2) A/R Classes that can be selected in Invoice (INV) or the parameter field is blank; a blank will also default to invoice.
The new Computation Method called Late Filing Levy when selected, noticeably absent are the Rate Type, Computation Information groups, and the Late Filing Levy combo box.
Business RulesWhen a Late Filing levy is being used within the system, should a modification be made to one of the parameters, e.g. Computation Method, and a save is attempted, a warning will be triggered. The warning message will read as, “The following Late Filing Levy cannot change its Computation Method: <methodName>”. |
The setup of a Late Filing Levy follows the same methodology of other standard levies. To associate late filing charges with an existing levy…
NOTE: There are only two (2) transaction types that can be selected in the Transaction Type parameter; invoice, i.e. Billed, or leave the parameter blank. |
As is often the case with a new feature, it is always recommended that administrators run the Verify Database process in the Govern New Administration (GNA). During the process the Verify Database health check will check to see if the SY_REGISTRY default date is being used. When this check has confirmed that the old Late Filing Levies Method is still in use, you will be presented with a warning screen. The screen will link you to the OpenForms General Settings form to change the date in the Force Late Filings Levies Method Date parameter and enable the Late Filing Levy Method.
