Introduction

Argos is a powerful reporting solution designed for everyone from novice users to the most seasoned technical experts. For ease of use, Argos users are divided into three distinct types:

DataBlock Designers:  Argos “power users” who create DataBlocks.

Report Writers:  Intermediate users who use DataBlocks to build a variety of reports.

Report Viewers: Casual users who are able to run reports and save and distribute the output in a variety of useful formats.

Each user type has a corresponding guide associated with it. This guide is intended for Report Viewers. Regardless of your level of expertise, Evisions recommends that you become familiar with this guide before moving on to more advanced features.

Once you have completed this guide, you should be able to:

• Launch and log in to Argos
• Navigate the menus and Explorer View
• Run a variety of reports and save the output
• Know where to find additional help

These guides are designed to illustrate the features of the product. Additional information regarding specific features can be found by accessing the help system built into Argos. From within Argos, you can use the Help button or press the F1 key to launch the help.
