Finished Reports Wizard

The Finished Reports wizard displays reports that have completed processing and are available for viewing, printing, or distributing. The wizard provides options for you to view, print, email, or remove the scheduled reports, change the report scheduling settings, or change the report ownership.

To use the Finished Reports wizard

In the Finished tab, select a completed report. The following features make the list of finished reports easier to sort so you can find the report you want.

•

Use the Filter helper to limit the reports display by report owner and/or a specific report creation date.

•

Click the column headers in the reports display to sort the reports by Report Name, Owner, Status, and Completed (Date). If the Display Report Source Column check box in the Report Session wizard is selected, the you can also sort the reports by Source name by clicking the Source column heading.

Click one of the following options.

•

View displays the View Finished Report options for you to customize the display of the report when you view it. The application listed in the Application to View Reports box of the Report Session wizard opens and displays the report output in a separate window for you to review, save, or print.

If you configured the report to produce XML output, the Style Sheet field displays for you to select the XSL file that WorkFlows is to use to format the report output when displaying the report.

•

Print displays Print Finished Reports window for you to review the default printing options, and sends the report output to your default printer.

Important: If you configured the report to produce XML output, the View Finished Report options display instead when you click Print. Since the XML output cannot be printed with pass-through printing, the XML output displays in the default browser window using the XSL file specified in the Style Sheet field. To print the XML report output, use the Print option in the browser window.

•

Email displays the Email Finished reports window for you to specify who is to receive an email copy of the report.

•

Remove displays the Remove Finished Reports window for you to delete selected reports from the finished reports list.

You can easily remove multiple reports at one time using the keyboard shortcuts SHIFT+select (mouse click or press the UP or DOWN ARROW key) or CTRL+select. Highlight the group using either method, press SPACEBAR to select the remove check boxes, then press ENTER or click Remove.

•

Ownership displays the Change Owner window for you to modify the owner of the selected report.

Note: The Ownership option is available only to user logins with a SirsiDynix Symphony administrator user level.

Click Close to exit the Finished Reports wizard.

Important Considerations When Using this Wizard

•

If you selected Microsoft Word as the default print application in Session Settings, note that it does not support pass-through printing. The report will open, and you must click the Print button in Word to print the report.

•

If the report is configured to produce XML output, the View Finished Report options display instead when you click Print. XML output cannot be printed with pass-through printing. You must view the finished report in the default browser window, then use the Print function in the browser window to print the XML report results.

•

The Fixed Format Manager helper is available for managing pipe-delimited, XML, and XLS (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) report output files.

•

The Host Timeout attribute in the Environment wizard is used as the timeout value for displaying a large finished report. If you have difficulty displaying large finished reports, increase the value in the Host Timeout attribute. The attribute accepts values from 0 to 500 seconds.
