Standard reports

Navigation: Reports > Text Reports

Assay provides a range of reports for easy output of crude oil data in a variety of forms. Standard reports are Assay reports that have a fixed, standardised report format. For example, the industry-standard Blue Book report is a standard Assay report. For additional flexibility, Assay also offers a range of template-based reports where the output of the report is tailored according to a user-defined or pre-configured template. See Template-Based Reports.

The table below summarises the range of standard reports currently available in Assay. The table contains the following columns:

• Report format: The type or format of the standard report.

• Description: A brief description of the standard report.

• File type: The file type of the report when it is exported to a file.

• File extension: The file extension used when the report is exported to a file.

• Multiple crudes in one report?: Several report formats in Assay support the output of multiple crudes in a single report. An entry in this column denotes the report format supports the output of multiple crudes in a single report.

• Report column in view?: Several report formats in Assay support the output of reports directly from Database components. An entry in this column indicates reports of this format can be generated directly from database components.

  Report format	Description	File type	File extension	Multiple crudes in one report?	Report column in view?
  "Blue Book Report"	Industry standard report format	Rich Text Format	.rtf
  "Crude Summary Report"	Individual crude summary report	Rich Text Format	.rtf

Standard reports may be generated for either a single crude or for sets of crudes. To generate a standard report for any crude or set of crudes, perform one of the following actions:

• Choose the relevant report option from the Reports menu.

• Configure a report column in a View, and click on the relevant report icon.

Usually, you generate a report for a single crude by clicking on the report button alongside the crude in a database component, while you generate a report for a set of crudes using the Report pages accessed from the Reports menu.
