The process of generating reports in NRx involves a certain set of steps referred to as report logic. These steps include selecting data, sorting the selected data in a certain order and then printing the report. Each report in the system has default Select and Sort options. These options may be changed and saved when running reports. Print Options are pre-set and vary according to the report selected. Print Options are defined in the individual report topics.
Step 1. Select Options
The first screen to display when a report option is selected is the Select Options screen. This screen gives you the ability to select files, and the fields associated with them, from which to pull data for the report. You may select up to twelve files/fields.
Step 2. Sort Options
When Select Options are complete, Sort Options display. These options determine the order in which the selected data prints. There are six Sort Option fields available; all six may or may not be utilized.
Step 3. Print Options
When Sort Options are complete, Print Options display. These options determine which portions of the information, which has been selected and sorted, should be included in the reports. Reports can include all pertinent information or totals only.
