Web-based Scribe demo reports

We are hosting the Scribe server on our website. You can access it by logging through the web browser at this address.

You will be asked to identify yourself; use the following user name and password:

User name: guest
Password: hello

There are four sample reports in the demo:

1. Query/CustomerList

Lists all customers found in the Northwind Traders database. Customer IDs are mouse-sensitive; when clicked on, they trigger the next level report (2) in a drill-down sequence.

This report does not not take any input parameters, so you should run it first.

2. Query/Customer

Lists all orders ever placed by the given customer. If this report is selected from the report list, the customer ID must be supplied to the report as an input parameter (e.g. "VINET"). If the report is run automatically by clicking on the Customer ID drill-down field in (1), the Customer ID is passed to the report by the drill-down mechanism. Order Number fields are activated for drill-down and trigger report (3) when clicked on.

3. Query/Order

Lists all items found in the given order for the selected customer. For each item, the report lists the product name, quantity, discount and unit price. Product names are drill-down active, and trigger the last report in the demo (4).

4. Query/ProductDetail

Lists the additional info on the selected product, including the product image. This report can be run individually by the user, but is really intended to be called from the higher-level reports in a drill-down sequence.

Note: our copy of Scribe server is set to time out in 2 minutes of the user inactivity. If the session expires, the drill-down through the reports will be disabled; you will have to back up to the top page in order to continue.
