iMIS Reports and Output Processes help you customize and manage reports, Microsoft Word merges, and email merges. These output processes use current iMIS database information and can be exported to a variety of output formats for maximum flexibility. With Reports and Output Processes, you can:
■ Create and manage custom business data
■ Use queries and business objects to generate output
■ Customize report output
■ Assign folder and document security
■ Use templates to ensure consistency
■ Export data to a variety of formats
■ Use pre-built reports to assist non-technical users
Process
By using the flexible features, your staff can efficiently manage your organization's communications needs to meet your business goals. The process to set up and use Reports and Output Processes is:
■ In Tools, administrators modify default output processes/reports or create new ones.
■ When using an application, managers can modify items in the output processes/reports folders, within limits set by the administrators, and run reports and output processes.
■ Users can run reports and output processes through a simple interface, inputting any required information specified the administrators.
In this tiered approach, managers and users do not have to know report setup or database schema to modify and run reports. Security settings determine the information each user can view.
