Generating Reports
Asthma Logbook X can generate reports that include up to 5 different report types. The welcome screen is shown below.
The content of a report is set
using the Report Settings drawer of the Reports view,
accessible using the Report Settings
button.
Each report is a single basic HTML file with no images:
this makes it easy to transfer a save report without having
to worry about including any image files.
Report Settings: choosing report content
For: this will set the From and To date range to cover the selected date period.
From: the earliest event date.
To: the latest event date.

Detailed & Summary events: decide to include inhalers, medicine (Logbook event field C) and/or health event data in the Detailed, Summary and Graph reports.
Report Types
The following summarises the report types- Graph report shows: a scatter graph
of up to the last 300 peak flow readings; summary of peak
flow readings for each time period in the day; weight
readings; height readings; calculated Body Mass Index
(BMI).
- Notes report is a tabulated listing
of events that only have Notes: i.e. it omits any event
that logs peak flow, inhalers, and/or medicines.
- Detailed report is a tabulated
listing of all events, as specified by 'Include events',
for the date range.
- Summary reports are tabulated
listings like the detailed report: Each period is split
into its own table.
- Logbook report provides the peak flow events in a logbook style using Period columns.
The calculated BMI from weight and height is available in the Graph report and in the 'health' data in the Detailed and Summary reports. See Managing Events for more information on BMI.
Printing reports
Once a report has been displayed you will be able to print it using the Print Report button.
Saving reports
A report is saved as a single HTML file, that can be viewed in any modern web browser and can be easily transferred without having to worry about additional image files.
Saved reports have preset filenames that include the patient name, date range and included report type: to make it easy to refer back at a later date. The default folder for saving reports is in your home folder
