Running batch reports

The Batch Report Generation function allows you to generate a group of profiles in a single process and be notified via email when the batch is ready for download. This function does not print a batch of reports, but does create a compressed or zipped file that can be downloaded.

Instructions

Go to Manage Reports | Batch Functions | Generate Reports for Download.

Select a Product Family and Product, and use Search to locate and select a set of profiles (must be a group of like products).

Note: You can only select one type of Product/Profile in each batch. You cannot mix different products even though they are for the same person.

Click Next.

On the search results page select those profiles you want in the batch download. Click Next.

Overwrite the default file name if you choose (this can help you locate the .ZIP file later). If you choose not to name your batch, EPIC uses the current date and time to identify your Batch File.
