Processing Prompt Reports

In this topic you will learn the steps necessary to run a web-based nVision report with prompts.

The report requests for reports that include prompts all begin with the letter “W”. To choose a report request from the available list, enter a W into the report request box


A list of the available report requests for that Business Unit appears. Scroll through the list and select the report request called WTBSGFND.


Press the Refresh button periodically (at least 15 seconds apart) until the report displays a Distribution Status of “Posted”.


Click the Refresh button.

The Administration page displays on the screen.


On the Administration page, the Trial Balance Singe Fund Report appears at the top of the list. To open the report, press the link in the description column.


A new window begins to appear. The first time that a report is opened from nVision, a file download security box appears. Uncheck the box at the bottom to prevent this message from reappearing.


This page is used to enter the prompt values desired to run the report. Each of the fields that appear in bold print are required for this particular report. The fields that appear in grey are not utilized in this case.


The business unit is required for every report as it defaults in from the report request. The business unit may be overwritten on this tab to request data for a different business unit.


When required in a report request, the chartfield values accept wildcards or partial wildcards. The date fields, when required, must be entered in full. 

A new Excel window appears, but may be minimized on the desktop. If the window is minimized, press in the taskbar at the bottom of the page to maximize the report.


Once the report is open on the desktop, you may perform any drilldown or Excel features desired.
