YSL Report Organization in Voyager: YSL.Net

Before generating a YSL.Net report from Voyager for the first time, you must organize your reports.

When YSL organizes reports, it surveys all the .xls files in the report path and tabulates them into a new schema table, YSLReportNames. As the reports path is surveyed for .xls files, a pair of tests are performed on each .xls file to determine if it is a YSL report and a candidate for YSL organization. First, it must contain at least one sheet called 'Template' (case insensitive) or a sheet whose name begins with 'T-'. Second, the file name must not include the string 'Autoformat' (case insensitive).

Organizing candidate YSL reports separates them into two categories: those that follow the established conventions of YSL cell locations, and those that do not follow the conventions. For more information, see “Using YSL Cell Conventions”. A report that does not follow the conventions must be processed and generated by Voyager Service Manager as a YSL Classic report. Fully conventional structures may be processed as YSL.Net reports.
