When you generate a report in Dentrix, the settings and filters you use for the report are stored in the report that is sent to the Batch Processor. However, the actual report data is compiled when you view the report, so if you leave a report in the Batch Processor, you can view updated information for the report every time you preview it.

For example, if you are working on collections and you generate the Provider A/R Totals Report in the morning, you can preview the report and see a list of patients you can contact. As you work with outstanding accounts (entering payments in the Ledger, applying late charges, etc.), you can periodically preview the report again throughout the day to view updated payment and balance information without having to generate the report from scratch.

Note: It’s still important to clear out your Batch Processor regularly. You can use the same report for a day or two at a time, but it’s not a good idea to leave the same report in the Batch Processor for weeks or months.

For additional information there are a few topics to be found in the Batch Processor Overview topic in Dentrix Help.
