Report

The Report tab allows the user the ability to add or edit a single report record. Both Custom Reports, those created by the user, and Standard Reports, those created by ClinPlus CTMS, can be edited. However, to edit a standard report template, the user must first click the Copy button, which will produce a duplicate of the selected template and adds "Copy of" plus the name of the current report in the Name field. This field can be changed as well as the other fields on this tab and the other tabs, including the Design, Report Fields, Group Fields, Sort Fields, and Filter Fields tabs.

 

Clicking the Run Report button will open a new tab that will allow the user the ability to select report parameters for the report to produce the desired information. When this button is clicked, the Report Run Dialog will open for the current report. Any unsaved changes will be saved prior to running the report.

If unchecked, the report will no longer appear on the Reports pages in the Home, Project, Sites, Enrollment and Finance tabs, but will continue to be available on the Reports page of the Administration module.
