Step 2 Selecting Fields There are very specific sets of Fields that are associated with each specific type of Report. The General Report houses the largest and most robust dataset, while more specialized Report Types tend to have a smaller dataset. NOTE: A list of all available Fields within each Report Type can be obtained by contacting etrac Support. The first section in Step 2 is a selection tool for designating the Fields that you require in the Report that you are Building. The Field selection box is labeled Select Fields to Add to Report. This section allows you to select any Field within the Report Type that was selected in Step 1. All selected Fields will become a column in the completed Report. You can select multiple Fields simultaneously by holding down the Ctrl key or the Shift key on your keyboard, and clicking on the additional Fields with your mouse. When Fields have been selected in the List of Available Fields on the Left, click on the right arrow button in the center of the screen to move the selected Fields to the Selection Box on the right. The Fields will then appear in the Selection Box on the right. This list of Fields will be the columns that are utilized in the completed Report. The Selection Box also includes directional buttons to change the Column Order of the Fields on the Report. The Column Order can be manipulated for one Field at a time. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 19

Sorting a Report The Select Report Sort Order section allows you to sort your report based on a specific field within the database. Select a Field, and then click the right arrow in the center of the screen to add it to the Selection Box. By default, all selections are in ascending order from A through Z. To reverse the sort order to descending, click the AZ ZA button. In this example, we have elected to sort by the ClientName Field. The orders in the Report are now sorted by ClientName in ascending order (A Z). NOTE: Selecting a sort order is an optional step. Click Next to continue. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 20

Step 3 Grouping Fields The Group section allows you to create blocks of data within the Report. This can allow you to generate Totals and Sub- Totals for smaller dataset. Select the desired Field, and then click the right arrow button to add it to the Selection Box. In this example, we have selected the AppraiserName field for our Grouping. In the screen shot below, you will notice that the orders are now grouped by AppraiserName. Each order is listed below the Appraiser that was assigned to the order. After selecting your desired field(s), click Next to continue. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 21

Step 4 Totaling Fields This feature provides you with a simple method for both totaling a column and running averages on specific fields, but is an optional step. Select one or more fields, and then click the right arrow in the center of the screen to add them to the right window pane. In this example, we have selected the AppraiserFee Field. In the screen shot below, you will notice that the AppraiserFee column (far right) shows the total dollar amount for each individual order and for all the orders combined. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 22

Step 5 Averaging Fields The Select Average Fields section allows any numeric field to be averaged within a column. This provides you with a simple method for averaging a column, but is an optional step. When generating an Average function for a numeric Field, you must also Total that field in Step 4 of the Report Wizard. Select one or more Fields, and then click the right arrow in the center of the screen to add them to the Selection Box. The numeric fields that can be totaled and averaged can be a straight numeric field, such as an Appraiser Fee. Calculated Fields are another type of numeric Field within etrac Report Builder. DaysAssignedToInspected DaysEnteredToReview DaysSinceEntered HoursInspectedToInReview DaysEnteredToAssigned DaysInspectedToCompleted DaysSinceScheduled HoursReviewedToCompleted DaysEnteredToCompleted DaysInspectedToReview HoursEnteredToInReview HoursReviewedToInvoiced DaysEnteredToInvoiced DaysNeededToCompleted HoursEnteredToSheduled HoursScheduledToInReview These numeric fields will tell the amount of time that has passed between two order statuses. For example: The DaysEnteredToCompleted field is a calculation the date the order was completed minus the date the order was entered. If an order was entered on 1-1-2013 and was completed on 1-11-2013, then the DaysEnteredToCompleted would equal 10. In the screen shot below, you will notice that the DaysEnteredToCompleted column (far right) has an average for each Appraiser in the report. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 23

Step 6 Report Filters The Select Filter Criteria option allows you to restrict the data that displayed in the Report. Filtering a Report has 3 main components: Field Operator Criteria In the screen shot below, you will see that the DaysEnteredToCompleted is the Field, the greater than sign (>) is the Operator, and the 30 is the Criteria. DaysEnteredToCompleted > 30 There are several Operators to choose from: = Equal to (exact match) >= Greater than or equal to > Greater than <= Less than or equal to < Less than in in <> Not equal to Operator in % like not like Description This will display any words or names that contain a portion of this word. Example: ClientName IN Green will bring back any Client names which contain Green in the name. Enclosing the Criteria with the % symbols produce wildcard results. Example: ClientName like %green% This will produce results for Client that has that word in the Client Name. Can be used to find near matches. Example: ClientName Like Citi would return CitiBank, CitiMortgage, etc. Can be used to exclude near matches Example: ClientName Not Like Mortgage would exclude all companies that have the word Mortgage in their name. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 24

All Filters applied to the Report must be true or no data will be displayed on the Report. The Data Type can also affect how Filters are applied to the Report. As different types of Fields are selected, the Data Type will automatically change to the designation associated with that Field. There are three field types: Numeric, Character, and Date. After selecting the Field, Operator, and Criteria, click the Add button to apply the Filter to the Report. The Filter will then appear in the Applied Filters section. Repeat the above process to add another filter, if desired. NOTE: If you make a mistake, you can delete a filter by selecting the Filter and clicking the Remove button. After the Filters have been applied to the Report, click Next to continue. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 25

Step 7 Naming and Finishing the Report The final step of the Report Wizard is to name and save the Report. Section Description Required? Report Name Enter a descriptive name in this field so you can identify your report easily. Yes Report Header This field is designed to personalize your report, and will be displayed on the first page of your newly created report. No Header Alignment This option allows you to position the report header in a specific region at the top of the report (Left, Middle, and Right). No Page Break This function will automatically insert a page break after every grouping that you ve created to ensure that different group data is not printed on the same page. No Click Finish to complete the process and return to the Main Menu. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 26

Configuring a Custom Queue etrac Report Builder can be used to create customized Queues, which can be run from the Main tab in etrac. When creating a custom Queue, Static Filters must be used. Almost any etrac Report Builder Report can be converted to the Queue Format. The Report Name must include the word Queue. This feature is spelling-sensitive, but not casesensitive. There is no limit to the number of columns (Fields) that can be added to Queue Reports. Sort functions are allowable when viewing the Queue on the etrac Queues Page, but Grouping is not. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 27

The Queue will run from within the etrac Report Builder interface, as well as from the Queues page in etrac. View from etrac Report Builder View from etrac Queues Page When viewing a Queue from within etrac, the File Number field displays active links to the associated File. The Queue can be sorted by clicking on the Column Header link. NOTE: Runtime Data Filters cannot be used to build Queues. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 28

Configuring Dynamic Reports Dynamic reports allow you to create a report that will prompt the user for input criteria each time the report is run. This feature is particularly useful for reports that use date ranges. Dynamic Reporting relies heavily upon using Runtime Filters. In Step 6 of this guide, we created a Turnaround Report that checked for orders that were completed between two specific dates. Although this report is very functional, it will require you to edit the Date filter in Step 6 of the wizard prior to running the report every time you want to run it with a new date range. We call this a static filter. Editing the Filters each time the Report is executed can be cumbersome. etrac Report Builder is a dynamic reporting tool, where you can select parameters (similar to placeholders) for the Criteria each time you run the Report. In the example below, we will change the DateCompleted filter into a parameter. The parameter will be entered each time the report is run. The first step is to remove the Filter by selecting it, and clicking the Remove button. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 29

The next step is to select the DateEntered field from the dropdown menu and select the >= Operator. Instead of manually entering a date, we will enter the parameter by clicking the Run Time Data button. The placeholder @@RUNTIME_DATE@@ is now inserted into the Criteria field. Click the Add button to enter the new filter. Repeat this process for the second part of the date range, but select the <= Operator. After entering both filters, click Next. Click Finish on Step 7 to complete the process and to return to the Main Menu. From the Home screen, select and run the Report. The Filter Criteria page will then be displayed. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 30

Dates can be entered manually or by using the pound symbol (#), which will open the pop-up calendar. After entering the dates, click Next and the report will then be displayed. NOTE: Each time you run the report, the Filter Criteria page will be displayed and a different date range can be entered. NOTE: When using information like Client Name in Filters, the Client Name must exactly match what is entered on the Client Profile. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 31

Date Range Filters The Date Range filters will allow the report to only display orders that have been completed between specific dates. To create a Date Range Filter, the Filter must be entered in two parts, because there is no between Operator. For example: The first Filter will be entered as greater than or equal to (>=), and the second Filter will be entered as less than or equal to (<=). A date can manually be entered in the Criteria where Select Date is displayed. Click on the pound symbol # to open a pop-up calendar that will assist you in locating your desired date. NOTE: If the calendar is not displayed when you click on the # symbol, change your browser settings to allow pop-ups. Click the Add button to apply the Filter to the Report. Perform the same steps to apply the secondary Date Filter. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 32

Using Operators: in For each IN statement, all similar items must be combined in ONE filter. This Operator would be helpful when building a Report that focuses on a specific set of States, but excludes the remainder of States. All of the States that are intended to be included in the Report should all be listed in a single filter, and separate each state or item with a comma. Separated in statements: State in PA State in NJ State in MI This Filter configuration is polling the database for all 3 of these filters separately. To return results, the Report must find results to meet all of the Filter criteria. In this example, an order in etrac would have to have 3 States for a single property address. The filter should be structured per the example below: State in ('PA','MI','NJ') The State list is enclosed in parentheses. Each item is enclosed in a set of single quotes, and separated by a comma. A space between commas should NOT be included. Multiple In statements can be used as Report Filters. For example, if you wanted to filter by the 3 States above AND by a list of client names, you would add the following 2 filters: Filter 1. State in ('PA','MI','NJ') Filter 2. ClientName in ('Big Bank','LenderABC','CheckSafe') NOTE: When using information like Client Name in Filters, the Client Name must exactly match what is entered on the Client Profile. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 33

Runtime Data A Runtime parameter is Report Filter in which users enter parameter values that determine how the report will run. When the Report is initiated, you will be prompted to enter the Filter Criteria to run the Report. Typically, Runtime Filters are used for Date Ranges, Appraiser Name, and Client Name. A Runtime Filter can be a single Filter, or can be a set of Filters. Single Field Runtime Filter This is an example of a Client Name Filter built using the Runtime Data option. When the Report is run with this Filter, you will be prompted to enter the Client Name. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 34

Date Range Runtime Filter This is an example of a Date Range Filter built using the DateEntered Field. When the Report is run with this set of Filters, you will be prompted to enter dates in two fields. Global DMS etrac Guide to etrac Report Builder 35

Date Range and Single Field Runtime Filter This is an example of a Date Range Filter built using the DateEntered Field, and the ClientName Field. When the Report is run with this set of Filters, you will be prompted to enter data in three fields. Notes about Runtime Filters 1. This Filter configuration is polling the database for each of the entered Filters separately. To return results, the Report must find results to meet all of the Filter criteria. In the example of a Date Range Filter built using the DateEntered Field, and the ClientName Field: The Report would have to find orders that were placed by the Client named in the Filter, that were entered during the specified date Range. If there are no orders that match this criteria, the Report will not return any data. 2. Runtime filters can use all Operators. The Criteria must be entered appropriately to yield results.
