Batch Controller User Guide

Top  Next

The Batch Controller is used to distribute (e.g. print) reports in batches (as opposed to distributing reports in real-time).   This gives the Batch Controller user the option of printing reports whenever it is convenient.

 

Features

 

1.Reports can be printed in any order (e.g. name, medical record number, etc.)
2.Any batch can have one or more distributions defined.  For example, one distribution to print the reports and another distribution to interface the reports to another system.
3.A detail log can be printed (manually or automatically) that lists each report that was distributed.  The log can be sorted the same way as the reports were printed, or in a different sort order.
4.Any batch already processed can be re-processed at a later date if need be.
5.If portions of a batch need to be re-printed (due to a printer jam), you can select which reports not to print again.
6.Different formats for the log report are available.
7.The Batch Controller can be setup to be run automatically at certain times by using the Windows Task Scheduler.
8.Various steps (e.g. import, log print) can be setup to be done automatically.
9.Can print reports on labels.
