Reports

Reports are implemented as an integrated function of the online editor Xinha

Opening a page with write access an icon bar is shown comprising various task buttons depending on page configuration and layout. Activated task buttons are colored, deactivated task buttons are greyed out. A sample task button bar would be:

Task buttons

Task buttons define possible operations for a content page.

New Create a new entry
Editor Edit an entry using the Xinha online editor
View View an entry
Save Save an entry
Delete Delete an entry
Copy Copy an entry

Task buttons are activated or deactivated depending on user level and available functionality. The button to save an entry is in this case deactivated, because the save functionality is integrated into the editor.

Report List

Reports are presented as a list, ordered by date. The filter bar at the bottom specifies default filter settings that can be adapted.

Startseite

In write mode each report has a check box. The box has to be checked before a report can be modifed, deleted or copied.

Viewing a Report

Normally a report is viewed by clicking on "...more...". However, it is also possible to check a report first before clicking on the task button View.

Creating a New Report

Clicking the task button New creates a new report entry in the database. If no longer required, the entry has to be deleted from the database.
The editor opens and the report can be entered.
A thumbnail is assigned to every report and displayed in the report list. Thumbnails can be selected from the Report Thumbnail Dialog from the available images. Only images from the ".thumbs" directory should be used. The Report Thumbnail Dialog is a Xinha editor option:

Reports Report dialog

The dialog has the following default values that will have to be adapted:

Report Dialog

Published Publishing date (webmaster only)
Link For future use (webmaster only)
Thumbnail Assigned thumbnail. If no thumbnail is selected, a book image is shown by default.

The default modifications will have to be saved. Now the report can be described using the editor.

Modifying Report

As described above the (report) editor is started by selecting a report and clicking the Editor task button. This applies only to the first selected entry. Multiple selects are not supported.

To adapt values entered in the report dialog click the report option on the editor's menu bar.

Modified report entries are treated the same as newly created reports. The data will have to be saved using the editor's Save option.

Deleting Report

Select the entry or entries from the report list. Click on the task button Delete and confirm deletion for every entry.

Please note that thumbnails/images assigned to a report are not deleted. These will have to be removed via the Image Manager.
