Adding a new Reporting Frequency

By default, Vital Signs is set up with three distribution frequencies for automated reports -- Daily, Weekly and Monthly. These frequencies can be used to generate reports every day, on Sunday and at the end of the month respectively. It is possible to generate reports on a custom frequency (ie every Tuesday afternoon) by following these steps:

1. Create a new frequency worksheet in the DocumentDistribution.xls file. See here for more details.

2. Make the frequency active by adding it to the vReportFrequencies list in the Vitalsigns.xls configuration file.

3. Create a UC4 task that processes the reports.

    The syntax is:

    /VSJOBS/JVSRELOAD qvw document name  LOAD=NO PRINT=frequency
