Overview
In addition to having a custom report writer ASIST Enterprise has the ability to import reports from the web. In this area you will find reports for different modules of your software. To install any of these reports follow the instructions shown below.

 

Installation instructions
All the reports listed in this area are zip files. To import any one of these reports save the desired file to your computer and use the Import Downloaded Report utility from the login screen. A graphical demonstration is shown below.

Step 1. Login to the desired software

Step2. Click on the Utilities tab in the Navigation pane.

Step 3. Click on the Import Downloaded Report icon.

Step 4. The following example is for the ASIST Enterprise software however the same steps may be applied for the MCM Enterprise software. When you click on the Import Downloaded Report icon the import report utility screen will appear. Follow these steps to import a report.

Step 5. Select the module that for which the report has been designed. (Note. If you select the wrong module the report will still load and run however it will not be available for the module for which it was designed. For example if you import an outfall report into the citizen call module the report will not show up in the outfall module however it will show up in the citizen call module. All reports are stored in a specific folder for each module.)

Step 6. There are two types of reports, System (Right Click) and Custom. Right click reports are designed to run from the right click of your mouse inside the software. They do not accept arguments such as a start date or end date for data reporting. DO NOT import custom reports into the Right Click reports folder as they will not work properly. Right Click reports will be noted in the download area of the reports section of this site.

Step 7. Select the target folder that the report will be imported into. Pay close attention to this section. For each module of your software there are two report folders. One for System, right click, reports and the other for Custom reports. The naming convention for these modules reveals their use. For instance for the outfall module there are two report folders named:

Reports_Outfall_System - Location for right click reports, and

Reports_Outfall - Location for custom reports.

The target folder may be either on your local computer or on a network drive. If it is on a network drive then you may distribute reports across your organization in the same way as you distribute your database across the organization. Once you have selected a target folder the software will remember its location the next time you import a report. The example below shows the default report location in the installation folder for custom outfall reports.

Step 8. Select the report to import by clicking on the folder icon to the right of the textbox labeled 'Report file to import:', and browse to the desired file.

Step 9. Once you have selected a report click the import button shown below.

The report that was imported will now be listed in the Reports section of the selected module, as shown in the example below.
