Setting Up Auto Reports
Auto Reports print automatically when a specified trigger occurs. There are two types of Auto Reports:
Scheduled Reports, which print at predefined intervals, and End Case Reports, which print when a
patient is discharged using the End Case function. An Auto Report can be both a Scheduled Report
and an End Case report.
To set up Auto Reports,
1 Select Main Setup, Reports, then Auto Reports and select the Auto Report you want to set up (A,
B, C, or D).
2 Select Report and assign a report type to the Auto Report.
3 Select End Case Report and switch to On if you want the selected report to print automatically
when you select
End Case to discharge a patient.
Switch
End Case Report to Off if the report is a Scheduled Report only.
4 Select Scheduled Rep. and toggle to On if you want the selected report to print at predefined
intervals, starting at a predefined time of day. The start time you set applies for every following day.
For example, if you set a start time of 07:00 and a repeat time of six hours, the first report will print
at 07:00 every day, the next at 13:00 and so on.
– To set the time of day at which you want the report to print every day: select
Start Hour and
Start Minute and select the required time from the pop-up list
– To set the time interval in minutes between two scheduled reports: select
Rep. Freq. (hrs) and
Rep. Freq. (min) and select the time interval from the pop-up list.
If you are setting up an end case report, these settings will be inactive ("grayed-out").
Switch Scheduled Rep. to Off if the report is an End Case Report only.
5 Repeat the procedure for all Auto Reports you want to set up.
All Auto Reports or Scheduled Reports set to
On print automatically at the predefined trigger.
Be aware that the monitor's memory for reports is limited. The number of reports that can be stored
depends on the size of the reports and the size of the printing database; the maximum is 30 reports. If
the memory is full, reports cannot be saved on the printing database and therefore cannot be printed.
If you set up regular scheduled reports, and you have long case durations, make sure that the print
database is configured to
Large and plan to print reports at appropriate intervals in order to avoid
losing information due to a full memory.
Setting Up Individual Print Jobs
