Retrieving Data & Printing Reports This users guide will cover the most common reports that users can run, to retrieve the data they have entered in each section of Firehouse Web. Reports: Display data entered in FH Web, in a PDF format. Queries: Display data entered in FH Web, in a Microsoft Excel, spreadsheet format. There are more reports & queries than we will cover here, but these are the most common. As stated in the training class, If you enter the data requested, we will take care of retrieving it for you, if needed. Just e-mail Lt. Hollingsworth or FF Campanella.

NFIRS Reports To print, or electronically save a copy of a NFIRS report, do the following: With the report you wish to print already open, click the Print button in the lower right corner You will be asked where to Output Report To If you intend to print, you should always select Screen first, to make sure you have what you want before printing. You can select to print, after previewing in the Screen mode. You can accidently generate a 1,000 page plus report, if you enter the wrong data, so reviewing it first is always a good idea.

Once you click the Print button, you must select where you want the report sent. You should view first then print, or save as a PDF. If you save as a PDF, use the Street Number & Name as the file name, and e-mail Lt. Hollingsworth or FF Campanella to retrieve the report from the FH Web server.

You will then be prompted to select what categories you want to print. The default settings are already checked, and should be the only ones used. If the data you need does not display, then go back and check that box.

The preview or printed copy of the report will display as below. If you select to Send the Output to the Screen function, you can then print by clicking on the printer icon.

FH Web Reports The remainder of commonly used reports in FH Web can be found under the word Reports on the top tool bar. Click on the word Reports at the very top of the main screen.

FH Web Reports The remainder of this guide will cover the most commonly used reports for each module of FH Web, and how to run it. Once you learn the process for running these reports, you can apply that knowledge to navigating through and searching other reports that may assist you. Because FH Web is internet based, all electronic files you save are on the FH Web server, not your local hard drive. For this reason, you must request the report from Lt. Hollingsworth, or FF Campanella, unless your CPU has a PDF printing program installed.
