Since newly generated reports often open in a new tab or window (depending on your browser settings), pop-up blockers may interfere with you being able to view the report. To avoid this problem, simply disable the pop-up blocker for the OA system's website. You can do this several ways, but perhaps the easiest is if you click on the window with an 'x' icon in the upper right hand corner of your url bar and choose the option that allows pop-ups for the OA site. 7 7 8 -====== **Q**: Theparameteroptionsin thereportsectionseembroad.Istherea wayo tailor the options(and pull-downmenus)tomyorganizationmorespecifically? ======8 +====== **Q**: I am trying to view certain information/data, but the system won't allow me to access it.

Remember that items shown throughout the system (e.g. client data or menu options) are context sensitive and based strictly on the roles, permissions, and responsibilities set up by your organization. Please contact your system administrator if you feel like your inability to access is in error or to clarify your viewability privileges. 11 11 12 -====== **Q**: Also, what is the default setting on parameters? Am I filtering things out or choosing to include them? ====== 13 13 14 -A: You can indeed leave some parameter areas blank. Making selections for parameters means you are choosing to narrow down your criteria for that specific paramater (i.e. Reporting Units). The rule is that your parameter entries are ways to limit the types of things included in your report. Choosing none (i.e. making no selection or leaving things blank), on the other hand, implies you do not wish to narrow your data down by that criterion and so the report will simply include all possibilities/options. 15 15 16 - ======**Q**:Ican'tseemeethe reportI justgenerated.Whyisitnotopening?======14 +**Q**: Do you have any specific recommendations or tricks regarding which browser to employ when using the system? 17 17 18 -**A**: Most likely,youarehavingthis problem because youhave a pop-up blocker enabledon yourcomputer.

Remember to turn off any pop-up blockers in your browser setting as this may hinder your ability to view reports.

Whereas a tickler report with episodes will give you the ability to introduce the element of client episodes into the data set (and will also provide information about the "responsible user" in such cases), the standard tickler requires a discharge or other form of de-activation to not include the individual in the main data set. NOTE: you will have to contact OA for support to set up episodic tickler reports. For more information about tickler reports, this difference, and how to create and understand one, please click [[here>>doc:Tickler Report]]. 22 +\\\\Q: What is the default setting on parameters? Am I filtering things out or choosing to include them? 23 23 24 -====== **Q**: I am trying to view certain information/data, but the system won't allow me to access it. Why is this the case? ====== 24 +A: You can indeed leave some parameter areas blank. Making selections for parameters means you are choosing to narrow down your criteria for that specific paramater (i.e. Reporting Units). The rule is that your parameter entries are ways to limit the types of things included in your report. Choosing none (i.e. making no selection or leaving things blank), on the other hand, implies you do not wish to narrow your data down by that criterion and so the report will simply include all possibilities/options. 25 +\\\\Q: What is the difference between OUs (Organizational Units) and RUs (Recording Units)? 25 25 26 - **A**:Youareprobablyrestrictedfromseeingthis informationbecauseof thelevels ofresponsibility andaccess setup throughyour organization.Rememberhattems shown throughouttheystem(e.g. client data ormenuoptions)areontextsensitiveand basedstrictlyon theroles,permissions,andresponsibilitiessetupbyyour organization.Pleasecontactyour systemadministratorifyoufeel likeyourinability to accessisinerroror toclarifyyourviewability privileges.27 +A: OUs are a way to associate users and clients into groupings for the purpose of limiting data visibility and to create organizationally driven reporting categories. Usually these groupings reflect either the geographical or supervisory reporting hierarchy of your organization. RUs, on the other hand, allow you to classify clients based on various factors (e.g. trial group) through the system of tagging. 27 27 28 -====== **Q**: Do you have any specific recommendations or tricks regarding which browser to employ when using the system? ====== 29 29 30 - **A**:Whilewerecommend Firefox,allprominentbrowsers(i.e. Safari, Chrome,and IE)shouldwork withthesystem.Rememberto turnoffany pop-up blockersinyour browsersetting as thismayhinder yourbility to view reports.Also, be sureto ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_30 +\\Q: The parameter options in the report section seem broad. Is there a way to tailor the options (and pull-down menus) to my organization more specifically? 31 31 32 - ====== **Q**:What is thedifference betweenOUs(OrganizationalUnits)andRUs(RecordingUnits)?======32 +A: Yes, most definitely. Like many things in the OA system, parameters are also configurable based on the needs of your organization, and we are certainly happy to help you with this. For example, if you only work with children, we can configure the age section options to reflect only that pool of the population - thereby potentially easing some burden for you. 33 33 34 -**A**: OUs are a way to associate users and clients into groupings for the purpose of limiting data visibility and to create organizationally driven reporting categories.
