Printing and Viewing Reports in Easy-Scout XP Plus Use the Report Manager screen to generate reports. Easy-Scout will use information from the Selected Games in the upper Mover List to send the Selected Reports to the Screen or Printer depending which button/icon is clicked. This enables you to generate a single report and/or print multiple reports in succession.
There must be at least one Selected Game and one Selected Report to print game reports. Be sure to review the Report List before sending reports to the Printer to minimize the chance that it will be necessary to interrupt the printing process. IMPORTANT - DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PRINTING PROCESS ONCE IT BEGINS! Once reports are selected, and you choose either View Reports or Print Reports, you can't stop the Report "engine" until all of the reports are printed (or viewed). You MUST allow Easy-Scout to send all of the selected reports to the Printer or to the Screen. If you choose View Reports, clicking the square (stop) VCR button will close the report on the screen and display the next one until all reports that you selected are displayed on the screen. If you choose Print Reports, you will need to wait until the reports are all sent to your printer. NOTE: Depending on how your printer is configured, you may be able to stop some of the reports from actually being printed by opening the Windows Printer Utility that shows in the lower right corner and deleted some of the print jobs. Do not attempt this unless you are an experienced Windows user. View Reports Click the View Reports icon to send all of the selected reports to the Screen in succession. Easy-Scout "hands control" over to the Reporting "engine" until all reports are printed. The toolbar below will be displayed in the Upper Left corner of your screen when the Report Engine is running. In the example above, even though you are in the View Reports mode, you can Print the report on the screen by clicking the Printer button on the toolbar. To skip the report, click the square close (Stop) VCR button. The next report in the sequence will appear on the screen. Note the title at the top of the Screen. When the Report Engine is running the title bar will always display the report name followed by the .rrw extension. This is an abbreviation for the report name, which s followed by R&R XBase. Report abbreviations follow a naming convention that uses the first letter of the name of the report. For example Overall Formation Tendencies is OFT, Hole Frequency by Down and Distance is HFDD and so on.
Easy-Scout will use information form the Selected Games in the upper Mover List to send the Selected Reports to the printer. This allows you to generate a single report and/or print multiple reports in succession. Working with Groups Groups of reports may be defined and saved for later use. These groups can be managed with the following controls. The default report group is "All available reports", which makes it possible to view and individually select from the entire set of reports in the Easy-Scout XP Plus report engine. To "filter" the list of reports, Select one of the Report Groups by clicking the red down arrow and select a different group, as shown below. We selected the Down and Distance - Off from the list to narrow the list of choices by displaying ONLY the Down and Distance reports for Offensive Tendencies. A new Report Group can be created by clicking the New Group button. The group selection textbox will empty and allow the user to type the new group name. To save a list of reports to a New Group, move the reports to the Selected area and click Save Group. * The New Group button will remain active until saved or until clicked again to cancel the operation. Existing Report Groups can be updated by adding and removing reports from the group. This is done in a similar manner - moving a list of reports to the selected list and clicking Save Group. Any time Save Group is clicked, the list of reports in the group that is selected will be updated to include those in the selected list. Use the VCR buttons to move reports back and forth from the Selected Reports list and then click the Save Group button to update the Report Group.
