During the running of a report the system retrieves the values for the applicable information from the DC1 database. Once run you view the report online and/or print on paper.

The following standard features are also available:

Converting the result to HTML format and emailing the result (See Convert the contents of a table to an HTML page and email the results in DC1 Analyser for instructions).
Exporting the result to a spreadsheet program (see Convert the contents of a table to a spreadsheet program in DC1 Analyser for instructions).
Viewing the result in graphical format.(see About working with graphs in DC1 Analyser for instructions).

To run the report do as follows:

Click Run on the Quick Report builder window, alternatively select the Run Quick report menu item.
If you chose to run the report via the separate menu item, you see the Selection required window.

Select the report you want to run and click Select.

You access the Run Report window for the Report you have chosen.

Select On line and Interactively if you want to view the report immediately on the screen. If you want to print the report select Printer. If you select Both you will be able to view the report on the screen and also have a printout.

For this example select On line and Interactive run mode.

You access the Report details view window.

The first line of the report shows the grand total. You can drill down to any detail levels to view the applicable information.

You can easily distribute this by email to the applicable recipient.

Once you have created a Quick Report you can maintain it via the following two options:

Quick Report Writer
(Standard) Report Writer. When maintaining it via this option you also have two options from which to choose, which impact the lifeline of the Quick report:

If you choose to edit (open) it via the standard Report Writer you will receive a message informing you of this. If you choose to proceed, the report will be converted to a standard report. The end result will be that you can no longer edit the report via the Quick Report Writer.
If you want to keep the original Quick Report, you can select the copy option from the standard Report Writer maintenance window. When you copy a Quick Report into the standard Report Writer, the copy will be converted into a standard report during the copy process. However the original Quick Report will not be affected.
