3. Creating a Report

3.4.2. The Status Bar

If you click on a bar in the graph, a message appears in the status bar at
the bottom of the Monitor ICR window. The status bar describes what
the bar represents and its current numerical value. For example:
You can use this feature to get a precise reading of a value in the graph
or to differentiate the bars if you have trouble distinguishing their colors.
3.5. Retrieving the Latest Historical Data
Now that the report is displayed on the screen, you can retrieve the latest
half-hour summary data accumulated by the ICR while you were
creating the report.
À To retrieve the latest historical data:
Click the Retrieve button. The historical grid is updated with new
half-hour summary data that has been collected by the ICR.
3.6. Printing the Report
With the report displayed, choose FilePrint, or click the Print button in
the tool bar. The report is sent to the printer.
3.7. Saving the Report
At this point, it’s a good idea to save the report. After you save the
report, you can open it again at any time without having to re-launch the
templates.
Within Monitor ICR, reports are saved as report definitions, which are
files that specify the templates to be used to retrieve data. Report
definitions also specify other items that the report includes, such as dates
and times or the particular subjects of the report (for example, specific
peripheral services or skill groups). Report definitions can be opened at
any time in Monitor ICR.
