Change T1, T2 and T3 treatment variables for custom reports
The 3 treatment variables serve 2 purposes. They allow you to add treatments that aren't listed as being available, such as state AMT treatments, to custom reports.
For example, you can add the CA AMT treatment to a custom report by using a treatment variable. The treatment variables also allow you to design custom reports in a generic fashion, with the treatment variables defined at print time.
note
For example, you can create a custom report with the Tax and Book treatments, as well as the 3 treatment variables.
When the report is printed the treatment variables are defined to be states specific to that client. This would allow the same custom report to show, for example, Tax, Book, New York, New Jersey and Florida for one client, and Tax, Book, California, Arizona, and Hawaii for another client.
