The EPAS Book

Running The Book

The EPAS Book allows certain EPAS reports to be compiled into a single report for a specified centre

However one of the main differences is that the report year is selected on the Welcome screen 

Tick the box to the left of the Report to select it

To change the order in which the reports are presented in the Book use the Print Order arrow keys.

Please note that due to a restriction in Microsoft Access the Book is limited to previewing roughly 40 Reports.

Any remaining reports will be generated but not previewed. 

As a rule of thumb if the Number of Centres selected multiplied by the umber of Reports selected exceeds 40 then Microsoft Access will start displaying error message.

The Book, like a Report, can be saved as a Definition by entering a Book Title and ticking the Save as a Book Definition box.

Finally by clicking Finish EPAS will build a separate Book for each Centre selected.

Creating a Report Definition

The EPAS Book requires that at least one Centre based Report Definition to exist before it can be run.

At this point enter a name for the Report in the Report Title field and tick the Save as a Report Definition.

Note that although Centres have to be selected they are disregarded by the Book

Maintaining Report Definitions

To maintain Report Definitions click on General Maintenance / Report Definitions on the Available Data screen
