Reports: cprlifesaver developed reports to date
Important Note:
The “dead” text –cprlifesaver reports … “of the website based 396 Reports – 101 Measures” are now accessible for subscribers with the most current of IT developments.
Two significant utilities have been added to the earlier versions of this site. These are the Report Generator and the Dashboard presentation.
- Report Generator … it’s ready to run
This exciting… and recent, Report Generator (RG) development, as its name suggests, it is a fully functioning interactive user-specified “generator of reports”.
As is foreshadowed in the 2020 Evaluation package … the RG covers … “A *complete dataset for your evaluation A Total of 376 Reports - 95 Measures - and a Report Generator".
*The report generator’s reach covers the bulk of the existing cprlifesaver hard-coded reports.
The beauty of the RG … from a user/subscriber standpoint, is its ability to serve up user-specified reports of this section of the cprlifesaver database (a selection from over 250,000 line “financial data” items) to produce flexible customised reporting.
- Dashboard developments
The cprlifesaver application and the CPR Consultants site is progressively moving to a full coverage, interactive Dashboard presentation.
Like most of our developments, progress will depend on the take-up of subscriptions for our cprlifesaver application.
The model posted at present on the site is a “Demonstration” only version with limited interactive capability … as yet. Watch this space … and with your help imagine the development possibilities of the Dashboard format … covering “all” cprlifesaver content.
The flowchart is extremely important. It is the entry for the eight sections of the cprlifesaver reports AND includes the download PDFs of all of the section content. For example, https://cprlifesaver.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/REVENUE-MEASURES.pdf
