Joe Cocuzzo will present a variety of handy NPR and Report Designer Tips and Tricks.

For good old NPR Report Writer (MAGIC and C/S):

• Learn how to export a large amount of data in one report run by letting a report break output up into multiple files. For example, send 1 file per month from BAR for multiple years in one report run.
• For extra credit, learn how to use FTP with append (MAGIC) or file utilities (C/S) to export a large amount of data into a set of files.
• See quick techniques and learn how to use Edit Picture and Edit Elements to make your NPR report screens smarter and handier.

For the new kid – Report Designer:

• RD has the equivalent of “MIS.SCREEN.print” – who knew? Print a PCS assessment in one step.
• Learn how to use the RD report debugger (did you even know RD had one?).
• Learn how to use a print rather than an export format for RD downloads. You don’t have to start from scratch when the user asks for an alternative download version of the RD masterpiece you just finished.
• See an example of a flexible “grid” output from RD reports.
• See examples of easier programming techniques in rules that use lists and nested lists.
