Overview

This chapter provides information on setting up and printing reports in SBN. In order for SBN to print reports correctly you must

• Install Report Services

• Set a print directory in each terminal

• Set up report parameters in four system administration programs:

q    Report Default Parameters (program #1561)

q    Report Priorities (program #1509)

q    Printer Profile Updates (program #1559)

q    Report Messages (program #1766)

• Define the report parameters in the individual report (see Report Parameters Pane)

• Use the Report Queue

Report Priorities

Use Report Priorities (program #1509) to maintain report priorities. You can define up ten (10) priorities. Priorities define at what times specific reports print. An exclude period allows you to define when reports with a given priority do not print.

SBN initially sets all ten priorities to an exclude period of 00:00 - 00:00. All reports with this time range print. You must change these times to define an exclude period.

Priority definitions always appear in the report parameters section of each system report, and in Report Default Parameters (program #1561).

To access this program, select Report Priorities (program #1509) from the main menu of SBN.
