Full report browse and reprint

After you start the OnDemand client, log on to a server, open a folder, and generate a hit list, the View Full Report button appears as an additional button to select on the panel.

This additional button is displayed if the OnDemand Administrator client has been used to specify that the full report browse feature is permitted for the specific folder.

Clicking the View Full Report button causes the entire input file that is associated with a selected document on the hit list to be presented as a single document. This composite document is created by using the following process:
  • The load ID is extracted from the document handle associated with the selected document on the hit list.
  • The file containing the complete set of documents for that load ID is retrieved from the server.
  • The documents are extracted from that file and a hit list is created in the original load sequence.
  • A document query is done against the server asking for all documents associated with the load ID. This creates a second hit list, in unpredictable sequence, of all those documents accessible to the current user.
  • Any document in the first hit list that does not also appear in the second hit list is removed. The resulting hit list contains all documents from the load that are accessible to the current user, and is in the original load sequence.

The document that initially displays is the first document of the load. This initial document is either the entire first document for a non-large object document or the first segment of the first document for a large object document. When first displayed, the number of pages in the composite document (that is, the entire load) is not known.

Differences from normal document viewing are:
  • The status bar displays “Page 1 of ?”.
  • The vertical scroll bar tab cannot be dragged to change to a different page.
  • In the GoTo dialog box, the maximum page number is shown as “?”.
  • The Thumbnails Bar does not display.
The following menu items or toolbar icons are disabled:
  • Send
  • All items under the Notes menu
  • Previous Item in Document List
  • Next Item in Document List
  • New Window

Operations on the composite document proceed in a manner similar to large objects. If an action, such as a page change or a find string, requires the retrieval of a new piece of the composite document, the user is prompted to confirm that retrieval request before proceeding, unless the Auto Continue Through All Segments option is selected. If an action causes an attempt to retrieve a page which is greater than any page in the load, the action terminates when the last page of the load has been reached. As soon as an action results in the retrieval of the final piece of the document, the status bar, vertical scroll bar, and GoTo dialog box revert to normal display and behavior.

If a full report document is being viewed and the entire document is printed to a server printer, the entire report will be printed as a single job.
