Bulk Report Export

The Completed worklist can export many approved reports at once as a single ZIP file, instead of downloading them one by one.

At a glance​

fa-filter | Filter the Completed list | Narrow down to the reports you want.
fa-download | Download reports as ZIP | Ask for all of them in one file.
fa-file-archive-o | ZIP is built | Each report becomes a PDF inside the archive.
fa-list-alt | Manifest included | A list records what came out and what did not.

Exporting​

  1. Open the Completed worklist.
  2. Apply the filters that describe the batch you need — date range, department, authority and so on.
  3. Click Download Reports (ZIP).

The archive is assembled in your browser as each report is fetched, so progress is visible while it runs and a large batch does not have to finish before anything appears.

What goes into the archive​

Only approved, uncleared tests are exported. A file is produced per lab order, named from the details that identify it:

<bill number>_<UHID>_<patient name>.pdf

Any part that is missing is simply left out of the name. If two orders would produce the same file name — the same bill re-registered, or an order split across departments — a numbered suffix is added (... (2).pdf) so no report is silently overwritten inside the ZIP.

The manifest​

Every export includes a manifest listing each order and what happened to it:

StatusMeaning
ExportedThe report is in the archive.
SkippedNothing to export — for example no approved, uncleared test on that order.
FailedThe report could not be fetched or generated. The reason is recorded.
tip

Check the manifest before treating an export as complete. A failed row tells you exactly which order to re-export, rather than leaving you to compare the archive against the worklist by hand.
