Use this mode of the FIDO II application to create standard reports. Creating a report using the wizard is primarily for new users or users who wish to simply start with the standard set of FIA reports.
You'll be led step-by-step through the process of creating one of the many available reports, displaying it, and saving the retrieval settings, report data, and session for later use.
If you want to begin the standard reports wizard now, click the Go! button.
There are 5 steps to creating standard reports. The wizard will guide you through each step as indicated by the buttons in the list on the right. Your choices are summarized in the wizard section at the bottom of the page. Below is a brief description of each of these steps:
|
Define the geographic region for your report by selecting states and counties in this step. By also specifying a circular boundary (latitude, longitude, and radius in miles) you can further refine your report. |
|
The filter options page lets you select what kind of data your report will display. Each of the filter options has subcategories. You may select as many as you wish. |
|
From this page, you will select the survey years on which you want to base your report. The survey years displayed are dependent on the states you selected in the first step. |
|
This page lists common FIA retrievals. Each retrieval you select will produce a single report. Keep in mind that the more retrievals you select, the longer you may have to wait. |
|
Once you have finished setting up your reports, this step allows you to review your selections and create your reports in various formats (presently only HTML tables are supported, but more are coming soon). |
Use this mode of the FIDO II application to create new, custom retrievals. You'll be able to do everything from selecting your summary attribute to choosing custom filters and the report layout display. The next sections describe in some detail how this mode of FIDO works...
If you want to begin your custom retrieval now, click the Go! button.
There are 8 steps to creating and saving a custom report. You can go to any step by clicking on the matching button displayed in the right-hand column. You can also let the wizard guide you through the process by clicking the "Continue" button at the bottom of the page. Below is a brief description of each of these steps:
|
You start your custom retrieval with this step. You can choose to either start a completely new retrieval/template or pick one of the existing retrievals/templates to use as a starting point. |
|
The summary attribute is the value that will be displayed in the cells of your tabular report. Examples include Area of land, Tree volume, Tree mortality, etc. |
|
When you define your report layout, you select how the summary attribute defined above is grouped and reported. FIDO II retrievals are broken down into three axes. In tabular reports the axes define table, row, and column breaks. You will be required to select an attribute for each axis. |
|
Set filters to restrict the data that will be used to generate your report. Each of the filter options has subcategories. You may select as many as you wish. |
|
Define the geographic region for your report by selecting states and counties here. You can specify a circular boundary (latitude, longitude, and radius in miles) to further refine the region. |
|
From this page, you will select the survey years on which you want to base your retrieval. The survey years displayed are dependent on the states you selected in the previous step. |
|
Once you have finished setting up your reports, this step allows you to review your selections and generate a report in various formats (presently only HTML tables are supported, but more are coming soon). |
|
Click this button if you want to save your custom retrieval. You will have the option to name the retrieval, give it a title, description, and author. You can also choose in which category the retrieval will appear. |
