Entry Panel

Selecting option U on the IOA Primary Option menu displays the User Reports entry panel unless the panel is bypassed as described below.

The User Reports entry panel is the main user interface to Control-V information about reports. The OPTIONS field of the entry panel allows you to specify the kind of Report list you want to display:

• Permanent (an inventory of reports processed by Control-V).
• Active/Migrated (recently or soon to be processed reports and/or reports that migrated from DASD to various storage devices). Default.
• History (reports backed up on tape or cartridge).

The other fields enable you to specify the criteria used to select the reports that are displayed. A list of all reports that conform to the specified criteria is displayed on the User Report list or Quick Access Report list.

The default Control-V security mechanism enables each user to see and update only their reports and the reports of their subordinates in the Recipient Tree.

There are three display types for the Control-D/V User Reports entry panel: V (Default panel), A (All fields), and J (Job display).

The fields in display types V, A, and J are described later in this chapter.

The entry panel default display (V) is illustrated below.
