Web Reports Manager Display
This display uses HTML frames (independently changeable and scrollable "windows") and divides the browser into four areas:
- Logo
- Toolbar
- Menu of Report Options
- Report Frame
Logo
The upper-left frame contains the Web Management Reports logo. Click this logo to return to the main page of Web Management Reports from any report.
Toolbar
The toolbar for the Web Management Reports always includes the following options:
| Table | All reports initially appear in a table format. If a report is available for viewing in another format, such as pie chart or graph, those options appear also. If you select one of these options, you can choose the Table option to view the report in that format again. |
|---|---|
| Help | Choose the Help option to display information about using the reports. The information that appears depends on the report selected from the Menu. |
The following options appear for some reports, but not all:
| All | Choose the All option to display the current report data in all three formats (table, pie chart, bar graph) in the Report frame. When you choose All, the report data appears in three sections: the top section displays the report in tabular format, the middle section displays the report as a pie chart, and the bottom section displays the report as a horizontal bar chart. |
|---|---|
| Bar Graph | Choose the Bar Graph option to display the current report data as a horizontal bar chart in the Report frame. |
| Download | Choose the Download option to save the current report data to an ASCII text file on your PC or Macintosh; your Web browser allows you to specify the application and location to which the data is saved. Each row in the report is converted to a line of ASCII text as follows: the contents of each cell in the row are followed by a vertical bar (decimal 124, hex 7C), and each row is terminated with a "new-line" character (decimal 10, hex 0A). |
| Pie Chart | Choose the Pie Chart option to display the current report data as a pie chart in the Report frame.
Pie charts display segments that are less than 5% of the total in a slice labelled Miscellaneous. All slices that are less than 5% of the total will be combined into the Miscellaneous category. If all slices in the pie chart each represent less than 5% of the total, the entire chart will be labelled Miscellaneous and the system displays the message All values below 5%. Pie charts cannot display these proportions. |
| Percent | Choose the Percent tool to display fund expenditures over or under a threshold percentage you specify. |
| Up/Down | When a report contains more than one page, the report indicates the current page number and the total number of pages, for example "1 of 3." Choose the Up/Down option to view additional pages in a report. |
Menu of Report Options
This frame lists the available reports. Initially, the report options in this frame are grouped according to data type. When you choose a group report option from the menu, the system then displays a list of individual report options in the menu. When you choose individual report options and choose the Submit button, the report data appears in the Report frame.
Many of the individual reports are included in multiple group lists. For example, you can view the Age of Collection report by choosing the Cross-Tab, Age of Coll, Coll Dev, or Site Activity report option.
Choose a group report option by clicking the box to the left of the entry in the list.
