Introduction
As part of the server release rel-191025-server, new report functionality has been added to ADM which allows you to retrieve reports more easily. You will now have an organized list of reports that can be setup to send as PD or Excel files through email or run on a periodic basis.
The reports themselves have not changed. Only the screens where you set up the report criteria have changed.
Reports Main Screen
To access the Report Main screen:
- Click on the Reports tab on the Home page of ADM. The screen will display two panels, Reports List and Scheduled Reports. (Figure 1)
