To clone a report
Any new report you create displays with the other Standard Reports on the Reports menu. Before you begin cloning reports, create or find out your organization's naming convention that distinguishes the cloned report from the original.
- Select Utilities > Report Specs to display the Report Specifications window, which contains a list of all iMIS standard reports, sorted by module and type.
- Select a report to clone, and click Clone.
- Change the System name if you cloned a report from another module.
- Click Parameters and make the necessary changes. These changes may include changes to the Rpt File/Format, the Options list string, or a message text in the Parameters text field. When changing an option, remember that most of the report options are already in the Options list. To enable an option that is disabled, change the first word of the option from NO to PRINT. For example, change NO_FULL_ADDRESS to PRINT_FULL_ADDRESS.
- Click Save.
Note: To access the Utilities > Report Specs option, you must have an authorization access code of eight (8) or higher.
Note: If you clone a standard report and put a period (“.”) at the beginning of the name of the cloned report, such as .Badge, it becomes the default for that report type and places the report at the top of the Systems list.
