Report information system |
From here you generate the documents and trigger report shipping.
For reports without a specification reference (such as accident reports), no document is created in Document Management (DMS) and the report is not stored in Report Management. In this case there are no document versions.
Only when it generates the report does the report information system read the information from the generation variant and the template, as well as the current data for the relevant reference object (such as an incident/accident log entry) and output it on the local front end. You can print the document created in this way, but the addresses of the recipients are not entered until the document is shipped. This means the actual document is not complete until the shipping order is created. The report information system reads out the document data afresh each time the function is called. This ensures that you always work with up-to-date documents. The shipping document is not stored in the DMS in the standard system. However, all data can be reproduced at any time via the shipping order or evaluation of the change documents. |
You will find examples of how to use the report information system under: Generation of Work Area Documents Generating Accident Reports |

Report shipping |
You can navigate from the report information system directly to report shipping and create a shipping order manually. You will find information on possible recipients under Address Management in Industrial Hygiene and Safety. |
