With the release of [Sage 100 and 100c](https://www.bcsprosoft.com/sage-100/) Version 2018 late last year, the Job Cost module was totally redesigned and modernized to improve performance and usability. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the improvements.

## Better Reporting

Report setting options now appear on the header of the applicable report window and with the ability to save settings, you can avoid reentering parameters each time you run a report.
