# Creating reports from survey data

HelicsWin.Net provides a form for extracting data from existing surveys and collating these data into reports that may be viewed on a screen, printed, or exported as CSV files.

You can create standard pre-formatted reports from templates that you select from a drop-down list. You can also customise your own specialised reports, and save these customisations for future use.

The Reports functionality is not yet available for the ICU module.

You create reports in the Reports form, which you access by clicking Reports in the main menu. This form has three main parts labelled A, B, and C in Figure 13.

On this form…

| Select PPS protocol and hospital(s). Select a single or multiple hospitals. You can select multiple hospitals by pressing the CTRL key and clicking on any additional hospitals you want to report on. Reports will show data for all selected hospitals together.
| Define outputs. The dropdown menu for Templates contains four pre-prepared templates for tables, and the option Custom. Choosing Custom enables you to either (i) choose two variables to cross-tabulate in a table, or (ii) choose one variable for a tabulation of frequency. Note: you can only edit the type of data in a table when you are creating a custom template.
| Review the tabular results that are displayed on the form. You can then use the buttons at the bottom of the form to print a hard copy of your report or export the report data as a CSV (comma separated variable) file for subsequent analysis in Microsoft Excel or other CSV compatible program.
