Group and Projects	Select at least one of your groups. You can choose specific projects within each selected group. If no project is selected for a group, all projects are included.
	Report	Choose which report you want to run.
	Start Month	Choose a start month. If you want all months in the year, select "all months".
	End Month	Choose an end month. If the start month is June and the end month is July, results will include all records with an observation date in June or July.
	Year	Enter the year. If this field is blank results will include all records regardless of observation date.
	Plant List	Choose one of your plant lists to limit selection to the plants on the list.
	Scientific Name	Enter a scientific name to include just that plant.
	Common Name	Enter part of a common name, and choose a plant from the drop down, to include just that plant.
	Region	Enter the exact name of a region to include just observations found in that region.
	Format	Choose either PDF, Excel, or CSV.

This is the simplest report, but also the most useful for data quality control purposes. This report shows how many records there are for each plant in each region. The results look like this:

The name of the region (O'Neill Regional Park) is on the left side. The name of each plant found in the region is a link. Click on the plant name link to go to a Multiple Group Search search with all of the criteria of the report (groups, projects, region, plant list, start and end date) as well as the plant name.

Quality Control
You can use this report to check the quality of the data your group is collecting. For instance, if all of the records in a particular project are supposed to be in a partciular region, and if some of them are not actually in that region, this report will show the discrepancy.

To fix a problem like that, you can click through to Multiple Group Search and use the Batch Edit facility, or use Plant Observation Entry to fix the records one by one.

Patch is also known as population. Inside of the Weed Manager system, the history of a patch is described by a history stack (many observations of the same plant, at more or less the same location, over time).

Note that for reports that concern patch counts, the date criteria (month and year) are not available. This is so that the root record of each stack will be included, no matter how old it is.

This report shows how many patches there are for each plant, categorized by group and region. The results look like this:

The name of the group (Marin County Parks data pro) is on the left side. The name of the region (BALTIMORE CANYON) is on the left side. The name of each plant found in the region is a link. Click on the plant name link to go to a Multiple Group Search search with all of the criteria of the report (groups, projects, region, plant list) as well as the plant name.

The results appear in Multiple Group Search in stack order, where you can see all of the observations that make up each stack.

The Gross Acres and Number of Plants columns show the sum of those values for the most recent record in each stack.

This report shows how many patches there are for each plant categorized by region, no matter which group they are from. The results look like this:

This report shows how many patches there are for each plant, no matter which group they are from or in which region they are found. The results look like this:

This report shows a summary of each patch meeting the criteria. The results look like this:

The name of the plant (Rubus armeniacus) is on the left side. The name of the region (ALTO BOWL) is on the left side. Patch ID is a link; click on it to see the observation records in Plant Observation Entry.

Note that in the example above, the third patch, mg40621, consists of a single observation record. In other words, this patch has only been visited once.

For each patch, the values of Gross Acres and Number of Plants come from the most recent record.
