The Report Setup screen is used to search, download, alter, and upload custom reports and labels.

Enter values for the following fields and click Save.

• Hospital: Select the Hospital. This field is required.
• Report Name: Enter a name for the report. This field is required.
• Header Image File: This field allows for uploading of headers that will display at the top of various report types. 
• Report Type: Here you can associate a specific report type for the given report (e.g. Vaccine report, Schedule report...)

• Security Role: Select the security roles that will be allowed to access the report.
• Associated Screen: Specify the screen where the report will be available.  (Only applicable to Local reports.)

Once you click Save, additional sections are displayed.

Jasper Files

This section allows you to upload/download the custom report template and report file.

In the 2.0 version, you are now able to upload an Excel specific report as well. When you click the "Export to Excel" button within a report preview, Vetview will now check to see if you have an alternate Template set within that reports setup. This feature allows for the creation of trimmed down excel templates of reports that remove the whitespaces and formatting of PDF reports.  

Sub Reports

You can associate multiple reports together using the Sub Reports section.  This allows you to build a standard set of information that can be used across all reports, such as a report that contains your university logo, the client and patient information, and the unit's information, but then attach other different types of reports, without having to manually add the standard information to every single Jasper file.  

Report Parameters

You can associate additional report parameters in this section. These parameters allow users the ability to alter the output of reports without creating new SQL queries and uploading multiple reports for slight variations. Examples include searches on specific products or date ranges, etc. 

The add/edit/move/delete functions are only available if the data source SQL is chosen.

Report Images

Added in 2.0 is the Report Images Tab. This section allows users to view and alter images that have been uploaded to any report. From this area currently in use header images can be edited to a new image without going into each report individually. This helps streamline mass updates to header images. 

Additionally, there is now the ability to easily associate multiple images to a report. When you click add or edit the dropdown list contains all the images that are stored in the database associated to reports. Within the Jasper editor, you will just reference the specific image name to display.
