Error reports are available with client participation in either the
"MES" or "QA & Reporting" services. Please visit our Online Support
login page at...

http://www.rebis.com/support/ols/

...in order to login and generate reports. If you select "new user",
submit your email address, and receive the message "we were not able
to locate you in our database"; you will need to contact us so that
you can be added. Otherwise, once you have logged into the "Online
Support" page select "Error", followed by selecting the "Error Reports"
tab. This will bring up a page that allows selection of the database
for each major workgroup, and product. Select "Computer Aided
Engineering", and the product you are interested in (the default is
"all products"). Next, press the radio button for the "Select a Time
Frame" section. The two list boxes allow selection of the time period
(month/quarter and year) and format style. Report type "Simple"
represents a summary set of information, where "Complex" produces all
publishable information related to the errors. The error reports can
be printed directly as displayed, or they can be pasted into a word
processor or spreadsheet program to allow custom formatting or permit
word searching. Note that if the "View Open Items" radio button is
selected, a cumulative open error report will be generated. It is
important to recognize that this report is based on the current
commercial release.
