Application #14
Automating Inventory Deliveries & Record-Keeping
Application 14: Your tank records are being audited by your local environmental agency and you need to show the auditor your monthly tank and line leak test reports.
Solution: You can take advantage of Infinity's report scheduling feature to automatically run and store your tank gauge tank and line leak test reports (e.g. CLSD Test Results, In Tank Leak Test History, Pressure Line Leak Test History). The reports are stored in the Infinity Report Archives, easily accessible by site at any time from anywhere you have Internet access.

Review the reports to make sure your desired reports are there (in this example, leak test reports), and they are set to run at your desired times. The default leak test reports are set to run the first and fifteenth of every month. The Help link in the upper right corner of the screen provides an explanation on the time.
