In the current release, there are no ad-hoc reporting requirements, so
the search cues to populate the reports will be predictable from the
current data; to effect a report, the Public Works Manager only needs to
specify the template and initiate the print. The print process then
includes the processes to merge the data into the template, transform
the template into printer-ready format and then submit the document to
the normal office print queue.
Because asset histories must include tracking details to link history
events with specific printed documents, the print process must generate
a document ID and then update the assets database to reflect these
changes.
