How to Create Blue Cherry Reports

Before you begin please ensure you have exported a clean copy of your settings that you can revert to if you have any problems creating this report. 

Blue cherry allows you to build and customise Reports within the software all the settings for this can be found in the advanced mode in the blue cherry setup window.

After opening the setup panel and enabling the advanced mode on the viewing tab on the left you will find a sub menu called text fields. 

Here you can see the current Reports made in the software and you have the option to view, modify copy or remove these reports. You can also create new reports in this tab by simply clicking add. Following this you can give the report a name specify the measurement type and use the editor to begin building the report, in this example we will be using the CPET Measurement type. 

Once you’ve setup your text field you then need to create the report template you can do this by going to the viewing menu and finding the “Reports” Sub Menu. 

Once you’re in this menu you can see the created templates and you also have the option to create your own, to make a report you need to click the add option here. Then name your report matching the name you used for your text field to avoid any confusion.  

Here you also have the option to select the measurement type in this example we will be using a CPET Measurement type. 

Now you’ve added the report template click on the row count option shown in the above picture for this example change the row count to 1, this means the report will be placed onto one page.

Once you have created your new row click the setup button

Now you need to choose the type of report you would like to create in this example we are creating a results text field, for the view option you must select the text filed you created earlier.

Now you need to return to the text fields menu and click on the new report you created and then press the open button that you can see in the screenshot below this will open a dialogue box which you will create your report in.  

The report has to be formulated in rows meaning you have to create a new row every time you would like to start a new line you can do this by clicking the row count button and adding a new row each time you need one. 

Create one row and type some information in the text field box. Once you’ve done this click accept and create a new row by changing the row count form 1 to 2.

Enter your title text in the text box, click accept then to add a new line to your report change the row count form 1 to 2.  

You can Add in predefined text by clicking on the green add info button here you can specify the information type and the information that is inserted. In this example I have chosen patient information & First name, this will allow the report to import the patients name.

Once you’ve added your selected information you can preview the report in the Cpet test area. You can then print preview the report by clicking the print button and selecting the print preview option
