The Reporting
System within EMS is extremely flexible; from printing a
single record to printing complicated regulatory reports, it
provides an easy-to-learn interface that enables users to
retrieve data from the system without difficulty.
At the simplest, a user may print the record they are
looking at by just clicking the Print button. What they see
on the screen will be printed.
If the user wishes to select specific fields to print on a
report, they may use EMS's built-in ad hoc reporting tool,
Management Reports. Within the Management Reports module, we
have grouped together tables that are connected to each
other in the database and that would logically be used
together for reporting certain kinds of data. This allows
the user to create reports by just selecting a group of
tables without having to know any SQL language.
The Management Report module allows the user to customize
the appearance of the report, changing colors, font sizes
and styles, putting borders around a single cell or an
entire page, and totaling numeric columns.
Once a Management Report has been created, it may be cloned
for use in creating a new report. The results of any
Management Report can also be exported as an Excel
spreadsheet, a PDF file, or a text file.
For reports that are more complicated, Crystal Reports 8.5
is used. Chemical Safety can create a report for the
organization, or EMS users can create their own reports.
Once a Crystal Report is saved in the reports folder, all
EMS users can view it without any special software. Crystal
reports may feature multiple sub-queries, and may be created
to prompt the person running the report for specific data
before generating the report.
