Reporting Modes
Save
mode refers to the textfile dumps listed to the right. Fill in the number of copies for
mode.
Display
mode is always enabled when the vote is proctored from the Voting
Computer; it is optional when and only when the vote is proctored from the control
system side. The column of checkboxes under each of these modes is meant to tailor the
information shown in each report.
Note however that for the
Display
reporting mode,
these data, although stored in the configuration, are not utilized by the present release of
the server software. That is, all the information is displayed regardless of these settings.

:
A summary of each vote’s results is recorded in the database file’s
Agenda

of this table; and “Agenda scroller tables,” page 55, for additional information.) Only the
and
Save
reporting modes will list individual seats by name along with their votes as cast.

current implementation, in order to specify the drive, it must be mapped.)
•
New
Creates a new folder, which you then need to specify.
•
Remove
Removes selected folder from dump list, leaving its contents intact. (You cannot remove
the last folder.)
•
Sub-folders
If
Year
is checked, a folder named for the current year is created inside each defined
dump folder, and textfiles are dumped to that folder. Similarly, if
Month
is checked, a
folder for the current month is created inside each defined dump folder. If both are
checked, a folder for the current year is created, and a folder for the current month is
created inside of that, and textfiles are dumped to that folder. The point of all this is to
