How to make use of the report results

Expand

When the result page is shown depending on what kind of report is used and what kind of filters are filled in, it is possible that the results are shown collapsed. The expand function button can be clicked to expand the results and show the full list.

Using the results

On a result page the following functions can be used (if they are made available):

1. Open one of the specific objects by using the hyperlink.

2. After selecting one or more items: use a specific function.

3. After selecting one or more items: delete/archive data.

4. Export the data to Excel, PDF or CSV by using the export function.

5. Rearrange data by pressing column headers.

Export options

Depending on the type of page and your access rights, certain export options will be available. Below you’ll find a list of the most commonly used export options.

Exporting data from an instance page

Every unique appearance of an object is called an instance. An instance page is a page of a specific object that is opened. When on an instance page it is possible to download or print the page itself. If the user has the rights to download the page, an arrow function on the top right will be shown.

For some pages a specific template exist that only exports the data defined in the set template. If no such template exists, the system default is used. This basically means that all data is exported/ dumped without a (good looking) layout.

Exporting data is done by pressing the export button. If there is more than one format to which the page can be exported, the Export function is shown. This is further explained in the next chapter.

Exporting data from a result list

After finishing your search, the results will be shown on a list (page). These results can than be exported to a variety of formats, such as Word, Excel, and PDF. What formats are available can differ per page.

You can export data as by:

• Pressing the ‘export’ button

• Select an export option

Difference between een report and include

What is a report

A report is a representation of data from the system. Reports are a collection of objects that meet certain selection criteria, grouped logically. Reports are dynamic, so the list of objects that are displayed can change over time. A good report turns data into information.

Where can I find reports?

• Reports can be found in the Reports module in the navigation menu. In this module, all reports available in this environment can be queried via e search screen. Per module several standard reports are available.

• In the Reports module, a ‘Folders’ menu option is also available. Here reports are resorted into folder. See screenshot below.

The Reports module is used for all reports, but other modules can also be configured to contain reports. Technically, standard- and advance search pages are also reports, but the usage of them are more easy. These pages allow searching data in a specific module to become more easy so that a report is not always necessary. But one most common usages of reports are on the startBoard as an include.

What is an include

In the basis, an include is a report that is shown on a startBoard or instance page. The big difference between a report and an include is that an includes does not have a search screen. An include is always configured in such a way that it displays the relevant data without the user having the option to change the filter values. This is archived by initializing the filter values. An include that displays the future reservation of a user will for example contain the following (hidden) initialization filters:

• the requestor of the reservation is the user that is logged in;

• reservation start date is larger or equal to today'.

Where can I find includes

Besides on your startBoard, includes can also be shown on an instance pages and tabs throughout the system. A couple of examples are:

• When opening an organization, the person tab is available that will show an include with the persons linked to the organization.

• In a property object a related object tab is displayed where an include of requests or other objects that are attached to the property are shown.

• Reports can be found and used in the “Report” module in the navigation menu.

• A filter page can be filled in to narrow down the data that is shown.

• The result page can be used to export data, open objects or use a specific function on a lot of data at the same time.

• Result lists can be exported to different formats such as Excel, CSV, or PDF.

• By selecting one or more rows, only those rows are exported.
