The Reports tab of the Voting Console Signal Block Definition window, showing part of the
definition of the VOTE signal block from demo2. (As shipped, however, the Print Reporting
Mode is not enabled.)
• Reporting Modes
Save mode refers to the textfile dumps listed to the right. Fill in the number of copies for
Print mode. Display mode is always enabled when the vote is proctored from the Voting
Computer; it is optional when and only when the vote is proctored from the control
system side. The column of checkboxes under each of these modes is meant to tailor the
information shown in each report. Note however that for the Display reporting mode,
these data, although stored in the configuration, are not utilized by the present release of
the server software. That is, all the information is displayed regardless of these settings.
NOTE: A summary of each vote’s results is recorded in the database file’s Agenda table.
However, this is only a summary. (See “Database tables windows,” page 47 for an illustration
of this table; and “Agenda scroller tables,” page 55, for additional information.) Only the Print
and Save reporting modes will list individual seats by name along with their votes as cast.
• Textfiles dumps
Textfiles are dumped to the indicated folders. At least one folder must be indicated. Any
number of folders may be defined to facilitate distribution of the results. We recommend
sending a copy to a folder on separate computer (a networked drive). (Note that in the
current implementation, in order to specify the drive, it must be mapped.)
• New
Creates a new folder, which you then need to specify.
• Remove
Removes selected folder from dump list, leaving its contents intact. (You cannot remove
the last folder.)
• Sub-folders
If Year is checked, a folder named for the current year is created inside each defined
dump folder, and textfiles are dumped to that folder. Similarly, if Month is checked, a
folder for the current month is created inside each defined dump folder. If both are
checked, a folder for the current year is created, and a folder for the current month is
created inside of that, and textfiles are dumped to that folder. The point of all this is to
