REPORT TITLES

The REPORT TITLES option is available in a number of files that contain multiple-page market research, financial, or analysts’ reports. In these files, each record represents a separate page of a report. REPORT TITLES gathers together all pages in a report, provides tables of contents, and allows you to display or order the pages you choose. After you enter the REPORT TITLES command, a menu of reports displays. The titles appear in descending order by date of publication.

Note: REPORT TITLES cannot be used in a OneSearch except for a OneSearch consisting only of fulltext market research or country analysis or risk files (for example, the files in the MARKETFULL DIALINDEX category).

You can display REPORT TITLES output online, request postal delivery, or order electronic delivery via email. You are prompted to enter the type of delivery option you prefer. Requests for tables of contents pages alone are still available online only.

If you have a SET ADDRESS command in your Dialog logon profile, or if you have issued a SET ADDRESS command, for example for an alternate email address, prior to the REPORT TITLES command during your online session, you can indicate the desired form of delivery with E for email.

Note: The alternate address must be set up before you use the REPORT TITLES option (see EDIT ADDRESS for information on settting up alternate addresses).

The following example shows a search in File 761, Datamonitor Market Research, for industry reports on antidepressant drugs. The REPORT TITLES feature displays a menu of the available industry reports, from which report #1 is selected. After the Table of Contents is chosen and displayed, specific page numbers are selected to be viewed. The method of delivery is then chosen.
