Column Heading Definitions Parameter Definitions and Procedures
Use the Miscellaneous Parameters screens to design the format and content of the Interim Report. Miscellaneous Parameters include items that are not specific to patient results or data field locations. The parameters are found on seven successive screens.
The order suggested by Aspyra to set Report Parameters is to start with the header parameters, advance to the footer parameters and then select the body parameters.
After you have set the header, footer, and body parameters for the report, advance to the Miscellaneous Parameters to complete the report design.
For further information, see Header and Footer Fields and Body Fields.
If you do not define the parameters for the reports, a default set of parameters can be used for the report.
