My issue is how to get this into a form. I love using access forms to do this on other projects but I am open to any and all solutions. I am trying to get more and more of them to use GIS instead of excel to document and analyse their datasets. If I can cross this hurdle it would help out a ton in winning them over.</P><P></P><P>Work flow steps.</P><P>- User Clicks tool</P><P>-Tool promps user to type in the incident number</P><P>-Tool selects the specific incident and exports it</P><P>-import this single feature into some program to generate a custom report (That I configure before hand)</P><P>-Generate a printable single page pdf report.</P><P></P><P>This is the box they get when first clicking on the report</P><P><IMG __jive_id="154956" alt="2015-12-11 10_54_47-TEST_ACCIDENT_REPORTING.png" class="image-1 jive-image" src="/legacyfs/online/154956_2015-12-11 10_54_47-TEST_ACCIDENT_REPORTING.png" style="height: auto;" /></P><P></P><P></P><P>This is what I have so far</P><P><IMG __jive_id="154957" alt="2015-12-11 10_52_19-TEST_ACCIDENT_REPORTING.png" class="image-2 jive-image" src="/legacyfs/online/154957_2015-12-11 10_52_19-TEST_ACCIDENT_REPORTING.png" style="width: 620px; height: 418px;" /></P><P></P><P><IMG __jive_id="154973" alt="2015-12-11 10_52_51-TEST_ACCIDENT_REPORTING.png" class="image-3 jive-image" src="/legacyfs/online/154973_2015-12-11 10_52_51-TEST_ACCIDENT_REPORTING.png" style="width: 620px; height: 454px;" /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 11 Dec 2015 16:58:28 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/automating-a-report-for-client/m-p/759482#M58603 BenDrury 2015-12-11T16:58:28Z Re: Automating a report for client https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/automating-a-report-for-client/m-p/759483#M58604 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You could create a report template with ArcGis report writer then use <A href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/analyze/arcpy-mapping/exportreport.htm" title="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/analyze/arcpy-mapping/exportreport.htm">ExportReport—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop</A> </P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 11 Dec 2015 17:59:17 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/automating-a-report-for-client/m-p/759483#M58604 WesMiller 2015-12-11T17:59:17Z
