EDM Report Manager
Individual report options are available when you print or preview a report. These options allow you to modify what information displays in the report. In most cases, you will have the option to include or exclude information, while in some cases, a choice is given.
Note: Well Cost software does not include report options, except the option to change the report logo from the Well Explorer's Database node properties dialog.
OpenWells Individual Report Options
Individual report options in OpenWells are accessed two ways:
Automatically if you disable the "Use the options selected last time" check box on the General tab of the "Report Setup" dialog.
From the Report Setup dialog's Report tab
In the OpenWells application, select Tools menu > Report Setup to open the "Report Setup" dialog. If the "Use the options selected last time" check box is enabled, any changes you make to report options when printing/previewing a report are remembered by the program and applied to the next report.
If the option is unchecked, individual report options are available every time you generate a report, as seen in the Drilling Daily Report example below.
Report Options are also accessed from the Report Setup dialog's Report tab. You can configure how reports are processed and/or options related to report content.
Report Processing Options
Landmark's testing effort revealed that enabled PreQuery and PreLoad options for specific reports can significantly reduce processing times. The specific reports identified by Landmark that benefit most from having the options activated, are set enabled by default.
While PreLoad and PreQuery options improve the report’s performance, they slow down startup of the OpenWells application and consume additional memory. PreLoad consumes memory on the user’s desktop or the CITRIX server, while PreQuery consumes memory on the database server.
Therefore, it is up to you to decide which reports are used on a daily basis and enable the optimization options for these reports.
Report Content Options
When you click on the "Options" cell associated with the report type, the "Report Options" dialog opens as seen in the example of a Daily Drilling Report below. Here you can activate check boxes to add various options.
Options that are not available will appear grayed out.
Most reports allow you to add a Cover Page and/or Table of Contents. However, some reports have many options, such as the Daily Drilling Report or the Well Planning Report.

Click on the Reports (
