officers/ officials. Accordingly, number of reports can be obtained for a given time-period.

Utility:

the system does not exist in system database, a dummy docket can be booked simply giving any
name for that system, which can be transferred to the real system later on.

Circle-wise report/ Nation-wise report can be generated for any given period of time.

More than 20 different types of reports can be generated, based on different query options provided
in the report module. As for example, docket pending report, station-wise docket report, system-wise
docket report, fault history, weekly docket status report, monthly status report and other reports can
be generated as and when required.

Efficiency reports for a month or for any given time-period can be obtained through this system.
