Welcome to the Government Reporting Extension Guide.

00:00:07.385 --> 00:00:08.965
In this video, we'll walk you

3
00:00:08.965 --> 00:00:11.405
through accessing the extension, configuring data,

4
00:00:11.545 --> 00:00:13.325
and generating reports efficiently.

5
00:00:17.905 --> 00:00:19.285
To access the extension,

6
00:00:19.575 --> 00:00:21.725
click on extensions from the left hand menu.

7
00:00:22.515 --> 00:00:24.485
Then select government reporting.

8
00:00:24.675 --> 00:00:27.325
Depending on your role, you'll see different tabs.

9
00:00:28.025 --> 00:00:31.325
CIS admins have access to all four tabs, data tables,

10
00:00:31.465 --> 00:00:34.405
header fields, header allocation, and produce report.

11
00:00:34.775 --> 00:00:37.645
Other user roles will see only the produce report tab.

12
00:00:38.265 --> 00:00:41.165
As a CIS admin, you can configure the reporting package.

13
00:00:41.635 --> 00:00:44.765
This includes managing data tables for various data sets,

14
00:00:44.765 --> 00:00:48.045
such as drill hole, collar, down hole surveys, and ASEs.

15
00:00:48.665 --> 00:00:51.445
On the data tables tab, you'll see two sections.

16
00:00:52.105 --> 00:00:55.165
One, the data files list for selecting data files.

17
00:00:55.865 --> 00:00:59.645
Two, the data file configuration panel for detailed setup.

18
00:01:00.265 --> 00:01:04.125
To create a new data table, click new and name your file.

19
00:01:06.065 --> 00:01:09.325
Format the file name using the state's abbreviation data

20
00:01:09.355 --> 00:01:10.565
type and free text.

21
00:01:19.145 --> 00:01:22.725
Choose the table type and database table and click save.

22
00:01:36.065 --> 00:01:38.735
After saving, you can modify field settings,

23
00:01:38.875 --> 00:01:41.335
delete unnecessary fields, reorder them,

24
00:01:41.475 --> 00:01:42.855
and save your configuration.

25
00:01:58.795 --> 00:02:01.735
In the head of Fields tab, you can assign default values

26
00:02:01.795 --> 00:02:04.815
to fields and save your changes if needed.

27
00:02:05.195 --> 00:02:08.095
Use discard changes to revert to previous values.

28
00:02:15.365 --> 00:02:17.295
Link header fields to data tables.

29
00:02:17.295 --> 00:02:20.855
In the header allocation tab, select a data file link,

30
00:02:20.875 --> 00:02:23.735
or unlink fields and copy SQL scripts

31
00:02:23.735 --> 00:02:25.495
for field population to the clipboard.

32
00:02:59.235 --> 00:03:01.565
Finally, Use the produce report tab

33
00:03:01.565 --> 00:03:03.005
to generate your output files.

34
00:03:03.905 --> 00:03:07.405
Select your report Type weekly, monthly, quarterly,

35
00:03:07.585 --> 00:03:09.765
or annual, and specify a date range.

36
00:03:14.425 --> 00:03:16.885
Choose A tenement group or create a new one.

37
00:03:17.305 --> 00:03:19.445
You can edit or delete groups as needed.

38
00:03:19.755 --> 00:03:23.645
When ready, click generate file to review associated files

39
00:03:23.745 --> 00:03:24.885

00:03:25.025 --> 00:03:27.725
to create a zip archive saved in your downloads folder.

41
00:03:55.785 --> 00:03:58.565

42
00:03:58.565 --> 00:04:00.565

43
00:04:01.265 --> 00:04:03.845
