The user accesses the Manage Reports view to perform various maintenance functions on a report request. Via this display, the user views and deletes online reports, cancels and restores requests, or holds online reports for viewing at a later date. Users access the Manage Reports view from the Reporting menu.
The user selects the desired report type and request number, and the CACS Enterprise Browser displays reports that match the requested criteria. If there are more reports available than are displayed, the user selects the More push-button to retrieve additional reports. The CACS Enterprise Browser displays a list of reports in ascending order, with Report Type as the primary criterion. The user selects the Go push-button to display the search results.
To modify or act on a specific report, the user selects the appropriate selection from the drop down list associated with the report. The options are.
Cancel Request cancels both the report request and its associated online report. The request and online report are purged during the next batch run. The report’s Request Status and Report Status are marked as Cancelled. This option is always enabled except when a report has already been cancelled.
Delete Report marks the online report for nightly purging. The report request is unaffected. CACS Enterprise marks the report’s Report Status as “Cancelled.”
Hold Request prevents the online report from scheduled purging by the system. CACS Enterprise sets the date to nines. The report can only be purged by the user or when the request generates the next report. The CACS Enterprise Browser marks the Report Status as “Held.”
Restore Report restores both the report and the request to “Available” status from “Cancelled” status. If the request has been modified since being cancelled, the online report cannot be restored to ensure that report request and the report image are synchronized.
Edit Request transfers the user to the Request Report display and presents the report request data. After users make and submit modifications to the reporting criteria, the data in the Manage Reports view displays the new criteria. The Last Run date does not change until the report is run again.
