Basics: Under 'Name', input the title of your DataSet, so that you can find it later. You can type a more detailed description under 'Description.'

5

Properties: There are four different categories of patient properties you can display in your report: person/patient properties, person attribute types, identifier types, and program workflow states. Under each, you can input Fixed Value properties, or parameters, which will allow the dataset to be reused. For example, if you input one column as a parameter, you can pass in at runtime what you want this column to contain under the appropriate category.

In this example, we will display a list of patients in Boston and output their birthdate and gender. All of these are patient/person attributes, so we add 2 inputs here. You can add more than one property by clicking the plus button next to the property textbox.

2

In the 'Key', enter an appropriate label for your DataSet. A label will appear as , for example, the sheet name for your report in an Excel file. Here, we enter 'RPP DataSet Key'. Under 'DataSetDefinition,' select the name of the dataset you created in Step 1 (Simple Row Per Patient DataSet). Then click submit.

In this stage, you may add parameters to the Report, such as Start Date, EndDate, and Location. Our report will list patients from a specific location, which we want to be able to change every time the program is run. We add a parameter 'Location' to enable this. Click the plus sign next to 'Add' under Parameters. Under 'New Parameter', because it is a single value, choose 'Single' under type, and choose 'Location' from the adjacent drop-down. Type a name under Name and an appropriate label, which will be displayed when the report is run, for your new parameter. Then click submit.

Your Simple Row-Per-Patient report is now complete. See “Running Reports” for information on how to run it. Following these steps, your report should look like the example to the right.
