How to navigate within the report
Once you leave the water market reports homepage to access a specific report, you will be presented with a reporting view similar to one shown below (example shown below is for a state report water allocation trade volume). This view shows you the different report types available and enables you to easily switch between the various reports.

The report type tabs enable you to switch between allocation trade, entitlement trade and entitlements on issue reports.
On entry, the default report displayed is the allocation trade volume for the latest reporting period.
If you have selected other report settings (e.g. reporting period, trade volume or price), these settings will still apply when you switch between reports.
The information type links enables you to switch between trade volume and trade price.
The default is trade volume. Note that these links are not applicable for entitlements on issue.

For entitlement trade and entitlements on issue, the reporting period is monthly.

How to filter the report information
The report filer capability is accessible from the top of each report as shown above. The filter enables you to narrow down the information displayed in the report. You can filter the report information by location or water product (entitlement type, resource type and reliability type).
You can choose from three filter options:
Contains: Displays any product type (resource type, reliability or water access entitlement type) or any location (water system level, water resource plan area or trading zone level) in the current report which contains the filter text.
Starts with: Displays any product type (resource type, reliability or water access entitlement type) or any location (water system level, water resource plan area or trading zone level) in the current report that begins or starts with the filter text.
Ends with: Displays any product type (resource type, reliability or water access entitlement type) or any location (water system level, water resource plan area or trading zone level) in the current report that ends with the filter text.
The details of the current report view will be filtered accordingly. Information that matches your criteria (including information that forms part of the higher level aggregation) will be displayed while information that does not match your criteria will be hidden from your view. Note that the values in the higher level aggregation will not be recalculated based on the filtered information.
By default, on entry of each report the information is not filtered and contains all products for all locations within each state and territory.
Note: The filter is not case sensitive.
