EnergySteward.com provides for the setup and management of reports. These reports can be 'published' into the system and setup to be available on various reporting menus. Many of the items related to reporting can be configured with the setup of report configuration items. Please note that the configuration area for reporting is an area of the system which will primarily be updated by system administrators. In addition, updates to these configuration items need to be carefully considered prior to making the any changes.
A few examples of these report configuration items include:
• | Report Program Types |
• | Update Status Codes |
• | Output Formats |
• | Output Status Codes |
• | Parameters |
• | Parameter Types |
• | Environments |
• | Database Mappings |
• | etc. |
In most cases, these configuration options will have already been pre-configured for your particular environment, in advance. In fact, many of these options should not be removed/updated to retain the full functionality (ie.. if "Adobe Acrobat PDF" is an output type for a report, you probably don't want to delete that as an option). These screens do allow administrators of the system to have an online update capability to these critical configuration settings on reports. To get into the report configuration area you do the following:
