ReportConnect

ReportConnect Basics

Open the Reports

To open the reports:

  1. Click on a Report Name link. The report opens in a separate window.

  2. Choose from any available filters. (More details on filters on the Filters and Sorting page.)

If the report has required filters, indicated by a red star *, the Generate Report button is disabled until you choose those filters.

  1. Choose a Format for the report from the toolbar:

  1. Click the Generate Report button. The report will open in the format you chose.

If you change the report format or any of the filters, the report will blank out. Click the Generate Report button to regenerate the report based on the new filters.

  1. If the report contains hyperlinks, click on the link to drill down into the report. A detail page opens in a separate window. (Drill-downs are only available on the HTML format.)

Each drill-down opens in a separate window so you can view all of the reports at one time.

 

Report Toolbar

The report toolbar is at the top of every report, just under the filters. This toolbar provides the basic tools for viewing the reports. When you open each report, you will see this toolbar, but once you generate the report, you will only see this toolbar for HTML reports. The PDF and Excel formats have their own toolbars for printing and saving.

Use the report toolbar to:

  1. Page through the report using the arrows or by entering the page number.

  2. Zoom to different page sizes.

  3. Search for a word or phrase.

  4. Change the viewing format of the report.

  5. Print the report.

  6. Generate the report.

 

Install Microsoft ActiveX

To view and print the new reports more successfully, you will need install the Microsoft ActiveX Control. The first time you try to open a new report, you may get a security warning window. Or, if you have a pop-up window blocker on your computer, you may see a security warning at the top of the report window.

Just click Install to install the ActiveX--it only takes a minute or so. The ActiveX Control helps control more of the default printer settings, so your HTML reports print as desired.
