Output options
When designing a report, you need to consider how it is to be output. For example, a report
that only needs to be viewed online should have a very simple layout.
The output choices are:
Print. Typically used for routine reports, such as weekly reports, that need to be kept
n
or read by users without access to a Station.
Online. Typically used to see a 'snapshot' of a particular part of the system, and then
n
discarded. For example, you may want to check the current status of a particular
production line.
File. Suited for further processing by another application. For example, you may want
n
to import the report file into a spreadsheet.
