Producing Reports Using IMSMANG

How To
Manage Report Templates in IMSMA Manage Reports in IMSMA

Overview

IMSMA^NG and iReport are interacting in two ways. First, the iReport application is part of IMSMA^NG and can be started from the IMSMA Control Centre. Second, report templates created in iReport can be imported into IMSMA^NG, allowing then to produce reports on IMSMA data, from inside the application. Additionally, the IMSMA saved searches functionality can be used to narrow down the data presented in a report. Three steps are required for producing a report from IMSMA^NG:

• Create an iReport template with the iReport tool which is an IMSMA administrator task
• Create an iReport template definition which is done in the Customisation menu
• Create a report which is done in the Reports menu

A report consist of three parts:

• target e.g. Land
• iReport template definition
• search which narrows/filter the data included in the report.

The installation packages includes four different types of iReport template definitions:

• List
• Summary
• Geospatial
• Statistics.

The iReport templates are inspiration for how reports may look like and will need to be customised by the IMSMA administrators to each country needs.

Examples

The List and Summary window printing are done with iReport templates.
