PRepS allows the user to generate a handful of simple reports. At this time, there are two types of reports that a user can create: Project PR Reports, and a Project ChangeLog report.
The project PR reports create HTML based reports that breakdown the problem reports by project. The project PR reports can be run for selected projects, just for one project, or for all projects. There are two types of project PR reports: PRs by Status, and PRs by Version. The procedure used to generate both of the reports is virtually identical.
The output of the project PR reports will be a series of HTML files. The main file is called index.html, and contains a list of the projects that the report was generated for. Each project in the report has it's own page with a filename like proj1.html. The project pages will contain a list of the problem reports associated with it. These problem reports will be grouped by status or project version, depending upon the report. Each problem report will have it's own file with a name like pr1.html.
A ChangeLog report generates an ASCII text report that contains the changes made to a project broken down by project version. This report resembles the ChangeLog file that you find distributed with many open source programs. The information displayed on the report is gathered from problem reports that have a "fixed in" version selected, and have ChangeLog information entered under the Fix Description tab (see Updating Problem Reports for details). The date displayed for each version is the last date at which any problem report fixed in that version was modified to a "closed" status.
To generate a ChangeLog report, select Reports->ChangeLog... from the menu. The Generate Project ChangeLog dialog will be displayed. Select a project from the project list, specify an output file, and press the Generate button. The ChangeLog file will be generated, and you will be informed of the status (success or failure).
