Manage Data in Database and on Local Disk

This module is launched from the US main window using the Utilities > Report Generator menu item. It enables the user to create and view a composite report generated from selections of individual analysis program reports and plots. Upon launch, selection of a Run (or all runs) populates a data tree with reports from which to select the components of the composite report. A click on the View or the Save button generates the report, which can be viewed in a browser and printed. Both the composite report HTML and all the component reports and plots are copied to a new folder so that the page is fully self-contained, can be archived, and can be viewed in the future.

Functions:

Runs:

Select a run identifier to present reports for that run or select all to show all available reports of all runs.

(data tree selections)

Select reports and plots for the composite by checking the box to the left of an item. A check or uncheck of an item above the final (report/plot) tree level selects or de-selects all lower-level items. A check box with a shaded mark indicates that some (not all) of the item’s descendant items have been selected. Click on the + or - boxes to expand or collapse tree portions.

View

Once selections are as desired, click on this button to generate the composite report and view it in the configured browser. See a Sample composite report view. A print within the browser can be used to generate hardcopy or a PDF version. Component reports and plots will start on page boundaries.
