Report Designer Example: Adding Observations to an Audit Report
In this example we will create a report of all performed Audits, and include details of any associated Observations.
Creating your report can be performed in stages:
- Finding all Performed Audits
- Adding associated Observations
- Customising displayed fields
- Generating the report
- Within the Audit Module ensure the 'List View' is selected
- Next we select Advanced, and enter our search query as shown below
- This returns a list of all Audit's which have previously been Performed
Adding Associated Observations
- Now that we have used Ideagen Quality Management to collate our Audits, we can use Report Designer to add our Observations.
- Click [File]>[Report Designer]
- Choose the 'Current View' Report
- Click [Design]
- In Report Designer right-click the Detail Band > Insert Detail Band Report > Observations
- The Observations will be added as below
Additional fields can be added to the report using drag & drop from the Collections Pane.
For example, the steps below provide guidance on including the user who raised the Observation in the report.
- Select the furthest right Cell in the Report Header Table
- In Report Explorer, Right Click the Cell > Insert > Column to Right
- This creates 2 additional Cells in the Observation Band
- Drag the Special Field, 'Field Label' to the newly created Report Header Cell
- Drag Field 'Raised by' to both of the newly created Fields
Now that the Observation Band and additional Fields have been included we can generate the report.
- In Report Designer click [View]>[Preview] to Preview the Report
