Report Management
A new report can be created within the tool by selecting the New report option from the File drop-down list situated at the top-left corner of the main page of the tool. This will open a new window, which allows selecting the needed report information, that are: the report year, the report month and the country.
Please note that the report country is automatically filled with the one selected in the tool preferences.
Once the report information are filled in, the Create button of the window will be enabled as shown in the figure below.
Press this button to create the new report locally.
Please note that the tool will now automatically check if the report already exists in DCF, therefore an internet connection is required to perform this step.
In case a report for the same month already exists, the application will raise a warning, suggesting actions needed to solve the issue.
When a new report is created, it is NOT automatically opened.
To open a report, select Open report option from the File drop-down menu. Select the report from the list (containing the reports locally stored in your computer) and then press the Open button.
The first form shown when you open a report is related to the aggregated level data. The buttons in the main toolbar are enabled and disabled automatically based on the report status.
To close the opened report select Close report from the File menu.
The tool allows to copy the different combinations of a previous report. The opened report will be completely overwritten, by the imported data (this operation is normally executed at the beginning when a new report is created an opened).
- Open the report in which you want to import aggregated data
- select Import aggregated data from the File menu
- the tool will show the list of reports locally available
- select the report to be downloaded and click on Import.
The tool allows to download a monthly report previously uploaded on DCF and not stored locally (as an example because the report was uploaded by a colleague using a different PC or because you installed the tool on a new PC).
- In case a report is opened, close it
- select Download report from the File menu
- the tool will show the list of TSE data collections which are related to your account
- select the data collection related to the year of the report you want to download and press the Open datasets button.
- the tool will show the list of your available reports of the selected data collection into the DCF
- select the report of interest to be downloaded
- once the desired report is selected just press the Download button placed below the reports list.
Please note that if a copy of the selected report is already stored in your PC, the tool will ask you a confirmation for overwriting it with the downloaded one, since the tool cannot store twice the same report.
Please note that when a report is downloaded, it is NOT automatically opened.
