Patent ID: 6977744

Claim:
A method for use with a network of computers including a database server and at least one computer running a network browser used by a system user to communicate with the server, the database including data to be assembled into different reports, the method also for use with a pulse sequencing program that is loadable onto the at least one computer, the program capable of downloading report constructs from the server, the method for facilitating on-line report delivery to the browser and comprising the steps of: providing a list of reports including a report subset of reports to be generated for the system user and a report time indicating when the report subset should be generated; after the report time occurs: notifying the system user that the report subset is ready for delivery; retrieving the data required to generate the report subset assembling each report in the report subset in a format where the information on the reports is placed in a printer friendly format such that the data is formatted to fit on a standard sized printer paper; combining the report subset into a report construct; and delivering the report construct to the browser via the network, wherein the step of delivering includes the step of downloading the pulse sequencing program to the at least one computer and causing the program to retrieve the report construct.
