Reports Manager Directions

1.  Minimize Horizon so you can see the desktop then doubleclick on the Reports Manager icon, (it looks like a yellow pencil.)  The login screen will come up.  In the login box by username put in your three letter school abbreviation. In the password area put your assigned password number. By role it should say user.  Click on ok.

2.  This should take you into reports manager and you should now see report groups and under that school groups on the left of the reports manager screen. (If you didn't get in and you get a weird message and/or you just see a blank reports manager screen do the following;  get out of reports manager.  Doubleclick on the icon again to get the login window.  Don't fill anything in, click cancel.  You will now see the blank reports manager screen.  Go to file at the top and choose settings.  The settings box will come up. Under server type it should say sybase, under server it should say libdbs and under database it should say horizon.  When you have corrected it click on ok. Now get out of it and try to logon again.)

3.  When you get into the program you will click on the plus sign by School Reports.  A list of options will now show.  All options that say notices will print individual notices.  I don't recommend that since it will print one kid per page.  If you choose list you will get a list sorted by homeroom or however you want it.

4. Example - Double click on Blocks list. (This will give you a list of overdues and/or other purfs as you choose.) When the parameter selections box comes up select your school then go down to the bottom and click on the group sort tab. Click on homeroom/teacher, don't click on ok, click on borrower types.  Click on select all at the top, don't click ok, then click on the blocks tab. If you want all books that have been checked out and not returned scroll down to lost and lost on dynix. Click on both.  Now, scroll down to overdue still out and overdue still out on dynix.  Click on both.  Now click on OK at the bottom.  You will get a little box that says working. The list will come up arranged by homeroom.  You can just go to file and print at this point or you can go to the right arrow up top and click through until you find a particular home room and only print that page.

Please make sure you have the laser printer as your default before
printing reports from Reports Manager.
