Different types of information stored in the ALPS can be fetched and viewed in a desired report format. ALPS-Link facili-
tates the acquisition and presentation of this information. Reports can be viewed, printed, or stored for later use. You can
select the report you want from the Reports menu. A list of available reports will be displayed when you choose the Open
item. You can also view an existing report from a local file. You should be logged into a device before you deal with any of
the information.
The reports item is not visible in the menu bar until you are logged into a device. ALPS-Link provides you with facilities to
fetch a new report from the device, store the report, view a report acquired earlier and stored in a file and print the reports.
Reports are the means of acquiring the current data from the device. For easy comprehensibility, the data is made available
in various reports. The list of available reports is displayed in the menu. Selecting More in the menu will post a dialog box
from which you can select your choice including those which are not displayed in the above report menu.
When you select the New item in the Reports menu, this list will be displayed. Select the report you want and ALPS-Link
will get that report data from the device and display it for you.
You cannot modify the contents of a report. You can save the report acquired from the device in a local file for viewing or
printing later. To save a report, choose the Save As item in the Reports menu. A File Save dialog box appears where you
can select the name and destination of the file in which you want to store the report.
The report can be printed by choosing the Print item in the Reports menu. You can acquire and view more than one report
at a time. To do this, go through the same steps of getting a new report. You can also view some stored report by selecting
the Open item. These multiple reports are displayed to you in multiple windows. To print or save a report when multiple
reports are in view, ALPS-Link saves or prints the active report. Ensure that the desired report is in the active window
before choosing the item.
Some reports need further input from the user. In all such cases data is acquired from user through a dialog and ALPS-Link
validates this data wherever it is possible, before it proceed with the report. All of the reports and their associated dialog
boxes (if any) are explained in the following sub-sections.
