Saving a report as an InfoEx report template

REQUIREMENTS
Permission	Operation Administrators and higher
Connectivity	Online only

This page describes how a customized report can be saved as a report template for future use.

Background

The InfoEx system allows users to fully customized InfoEx reports with respect to content (dates, locations, observation types, observation parameters, and observation characteristics) and layout (order of tables, grouping of observations, sorting of observations, report format).

The style of the resulting report can be saved as a template that can be used for future use. You need to be an Operation Administrator to be able to save report templates.

The resulting templates can be access directly via the REPORTS menu or the report workflow module to improve the efficiency of information visualization and interpretation.

Step-by-Step Description

1.	To create a new report template, start with one of the standard reports that contain all of the available InfoEx information (Standard-Today or Standard-Yesterday) and modify the content and layout as you wish.
2.	Fig.1: Saving the InfoEx report as a view To preserve the content and layout of the customized report for future use, click on the Manage button to the right of the name of the original report (Fig. 1) and select 'Save As New'.
3.	Fig.2: Naming the new InfoEx report view Select a descriptive name for the new report template and click on Ok to save the template (Fig. 2). The definition of the new report template has now been saved to the server and is available under the REPORTS menu.
