Field	Description
Building	Building to include in the report.
Marking Period(s)	Select the marking periods for listing free period information. Select codes from the field's drop-down list, or click (asterisk) to select all codes, then remove any that do not apply.
Show Non-Standard Periods	Checked if you want to include all periods in the report. Unchecked if you want to skip periods that have been marked as non-standard in the Periods option. For example, you might have an early or late period in which only some students have courses.
Print Study Halls As Free Time	Checked if you want study halls assigned in student schedules to be counted as free time (not scheduled time) in the report. Unchecked if study halls should be counted as scheduled time and, therefore, not included as free time.
Log Statistics	Checked if you want to print the prompts in a log file. Otherwise, a log file will be created only if an error occurs.

Sort Panel
