5. Click the Add (+) to make a new report. The report will be made at the bottom of the list.

6. Rename the report and select the measurement type.

8. Click Add (+) to make a new text field.

9. Rename and change to the desired measurement type.

10. Go back to ‘Report’, select your new report and click on row count.

11. Type in 1.

12. A grey box should appear below, click it and change the ‘Type’ section to ‘Results Text Field’ and the ‘View’ section to the name of the text field you have just made.

13. Now it is time to write the report. Go back to ‘Text fields’ sub tab

14. Select the text field you have just made and click open.

15. Click on the row count button and type in the number of rows you will require. All of the rows can be moved, copied and edited using the buttons on the left of the rows themselves.

16. To enter text on each of the rows, simply click on the rows

17. This green box is where you enter the information that will be shown in the row/column you have clicked to edit, you can also add automatic information by click on the Add Info (+) button above the text box

18. To do this, type the text you want in the box e.g. VO2 Peak: then select auto info select ‘Threshold’ to reference a value in the test, then click setup and click the value you wish to reference. 

Note: to make it easier to find parameters in Blue Cherry, there is a drop down above the parameters, changing this drop down to CPET for example means that you will only be able to see parameters that are used by CPET.

19. The parameter for VO2 Peak would be: 

20. An example of writing a report that is all automated would be:

21. Once you have found the reference you were looking for do the same again but this time click ‘Unit of parameter’ from the auto info drop down.

22. This would automate data from the test into the report and it will look like this in the report, this will change for each test and for each patient, this can be done for many different parameters & reference values in Blue Cherry:

23. Repeat the steps above to insert an ‘Editable Text Field’, this will allow the user to enter text in the report without going into the setting to change text. 

24. Insert Auto info (+), select ‘Editable text’ for the information type and Make a new Parameter by selecting ‘New’

25.  This will open a new Blue Cherry window with a list of all of the current editable text fields that have been created. The new one that has been created will be once again placed at the bottom of the list and will be represented by a number.

26. There are 3 options when using editable text; you can name it and leave it blank and type any text into the box when the report building process is complete, name it and add predefined text e.g. if a list of users, possible symptoms, results, etc… that can be edited during the reporting stage and finally show parameters which opens selected parameters to look at while the editable text box is open to see results rather than going to another report to look at the results and then going back to this report to fill in the findings of the test. Press ‘OK’ to save the changes.

27. The editable text field will be put into the report, to check this keep clicking ‘Accept’ until you are out of the ‘Setup’ Menu, open the report, and click the editable text field box

28. A new window will open that has similar settings to the Editable text field that has just been created.
