ConnecticutCONTROL-D ONLINE REPORTING
CONTROL-D offers us new ways to distribute reports: electronically and, if still needed, on paper. Reports are available online immediately after the job is completed, virtually eliminating waiting for report distribution. Staff has the ability to view their reports; current and prior, from any PC or terminal connected to the mainframe.
The CONTROL-D Online Viewing facility enables you to look at reports on your screen and allows two or more people to view/work with the same report at different locations. CONTROL-D also offers the option to print the complete report or specified pages of the report.

USER REPORT ENTRY PANEL
The USER REPORTS ENTRY PANEL is the main user interface to CONTROL-D Reports. This panel allows you to fill in the selection criteria of the report(s) that you need to view. You may be as specific as necessary.
OPTIONS: This field allows you to specify the kind of Report list you want to see. Valid values are 1, 2, or 3. The default value is 2.
- 1 = PERMANENT REPORT LIST. A master list of all reports which the user may receive at any time.
- 2 = ACTIVE REPORT LIST. A list of recent reports. (Default if the OPTION field is left blank).
- 3 = HISTORY REPORT LIST. A list of all reports which are currently archived on cartridge that can be restored to the ACTIVE LIST for viewing.
REPORT NAME: This field allows you to specify the report name i.e. HJ PAY PRELIST ALPHA. Asterisks may be used in place of words or letters in the report name, i.e. *PRELIST* will display a list of report names with the word PRELIST in them. If the Report Name is left blank then a list of all the reports available to the user is displayed. Only reports that the user is authorized to view are displayed.
USER: User or recipient name. Each area is assigned a specific name that is used to access reports. The USER field may be left blank.
