Instructions for Creators

FIRST, prepare the samples-->

We expect the Report Template Creator to create and provide a “representative sample” of the templates that represents the template-creating capabilities of your application AND that incorporate as many of the template structures defined in the MRRT Profile as possible. he better the samples you provide, the better interoperability testing we will have.

 Using your Report Template Creator application, create a template using this guidance:

  1. the report template should contain at least on entry under coded_content
  2. Include at least one TEXT-type field in the report template
  3. Include at least one NUMBER-type field in the report template
  4. Include at least one selection list field in the report template
  5. Include at least one DATE-type field in the report template
  6. Include at least one TIME-type field in the report template
  7. You may optionally include a MERGE-type field in your report template
  8. You may include other content as long as it follows the format specified for MRRT report templates

SECOND, upload your samples -->

  1. Upload sample report templates and optional screen capture snapshot(s) into Gazelle Test Management under Testing --> Sample exchange. On the Samples to share tab, upload your sample image(s) under the MRRT entry.   Refer to these help pages for details on managing samples in Gazelle.
  2. Assuming you have this ability, render a sample report using the template(s) you produced.  Perform a screen capture and/or save as JPEG or other reasonable format.  Upload the screenshot into Gazelle Test Management.
  3. Create a short txt file indicating you have completed the upload step. Upload '''that''' txt file into Gazelle as the result file for this pre-Connectathon test.
  4. There is no specific evaluation for this test.  Feedback comes as your Consumer partners test with your reports in their lab.

Instructions for Consumers

  1. Find sample MRRT Report Templates uploaded by other vendors in Gazelle Test Management under Testing -> Sample exchange.    On the Samples available for rendering tab under the MRRT entry, you willl find samples and screen captures submitted by other vendors.  This page will evolve as vendors add samples, so be patient. 
  2. Retrieve the files created by the other vendors.  Refer to these help pages for details on this task in Gazelle.
  3. Examine/import/render them so that you are confident your software understands the content.
  4. When you are finished, create a .txt or other file that lists the samples you tested with, and a brief comment on your result (eg "ok", or "could not render"). Upload that txt file into Gazelle Test Management as the result file for this preparatory test.
  5. If you find issues with the images, send an email to the Connectathon Technical Manager.
  6. The evaluation of this test is performed by examining the text you provided to make sure you made a good faith effort to use the template in your system. If you find problems with some samples, we will give your feedback to the Creator test partner.
  7. The goal is no surprises.

Evaluation

  1. In Gazelle Test Management, find the entry for this test instance, and change the status to "Verified by Vendor". This is a signal to the Technical Manager that you have completed this task..
