Generating Larger Reports
The more records you include in your report, the longer the report will take to generate. During
report generation, you can use other WAMS applications; however, you can generate only one
report at a time in the Reports application. If you define a report that will take more than 30
minutes to generate based on the records included, WAMS will present the following message:
In the example, WAMS detects that the defined report contains about 30,000 records and will
take more than 30 minutes to generate. If this is acceptable, simply select Yes and the report will
be generated. Select No if this is an inconvenient time to generate the report, or review your
report definitions to see if you can further filter the report and still get the information you need.
When you select Yes, the report begins to generate and WAMS displays the Elapsed Time as the
report runs.
Printing and Exporting Reports
Once you are satisfied with your report, you can print to a local or networked printer, or export the
report in several formats. Your results will be determined by the options you select and how you
wish to use the data. For example if you export to an Excel
®
file, you may get a different
formatting result than if you export to an Adobe Acrobat
®
file or print directly from WAMS.
However, you may wish to export to an Excel file and use the data in another format.
The following example was printed from an Adobe Acrobat .pdf file exported from WAMS reports.
It retains all the formatting as displayed in WAMS Reports.
