The operation and presentation of eDocket Reports has changed, we think, for the better. The system now serves up interactive/drill-down reports, which are much more powerful than the static web service reports of the past.

Reports can still be saved to PDF, Excel, etc. file formats, so no functionality has been lost, with one minor exception. Microsoft Word is no longer supported - but the good news is that quick a copy & paste from Excel to Word yields better results than the previous method.

The layout of controls has changed so that they appear on the pop-up report page instead of on this page, where they traditionally have been. These changes are expected to be highly intuitive.

Nonetheless, if for some reason you prefer or must use the old style Web Service based reports, radio buttons at the top of this page allow you to select either the 'Interactive' or 'Web Service' reporting services mode.

Information in the sections below tell about these new reports in greater detail.

Interactive reports are reports you can navigate and sort with the click of a mouse. There are three basic operations:

• Drill-down into expandable/collapsible groups. (Similar to these help information sections.)
• Sorting information within the groups.
• Clicking hyperlinks to open new pages, such as document images.

This dynamic interactive grouping allows the summarization of information while retaining the ability to get the detailed information in the same report. Gone will be two different versions of basically the same report: Summary and Detailed. We think you'll get the idea quickly when a previously multi-page report collapses down into one or two pages and you find the information you're looking for that much faster. Another improvement is that hyperlinks in reports now are launched in a new window.

With these changes we are committed to making as many of our reports interactive as possible, as soon as possible.

As mentioned above, controls have moved onto the pop-up report page, including the file export controls.  A drop-list control and Export button on the report manager's toolbar are used to save reports in the desired file format. In order of appearance, you can export reports to:

• XML file with report data - Of use to power users who need XML data.
• CSV (comma delimited) - Again, mostly of use to power users.
• TIFF - For those wanting an image file.
• Adobe (PDF) file - A standard and popular option.
• Web Archive - For those wanting an html file.
• Excel - Another standard and popular option.

Gone is the Microsoft Word format, which Microsoft took out some time back.  But it's easy to copy & paste an entire Excel worksheet to Word, and it does a better job than the previous method.

For reports with no parameters, the report will automatically load into the page. If the particular report you are running takes parameters (criteria, such as a date range) then controls for entering those values will appear on the pop-up report page. Enter the desired criteria for your report and click the View Report button.

Once the report is loaded, the report toolbar will appear. The report toolbar has controls for:

• Navigation to move between pages.
• Zoom to size the report in the window.
• Find to search for words in the report.
• Export to save reports to various formats.
• Refresh to get the latest data into the report.
• Print to print reports.

At this writing, the only issue of which we are aware is a possible printing problem, where you may get the error message:

Unable to load client print control.

If you are an administrator on your computer, you should be able to install the necessary 'MSSQL Server' ActiveX control via your browser. If you are not an administrator, an administrator can log onto your computer and install the client print control for all the computer's users.

System Administrators may contact the Arizona Corporation Commission IT Division for guidance on installing the control for their users.
