Its up to you and Don as
to how to interpret the certification rules. Whit just fixes the
stuff when it’s broken. I don’t
think you’ll get many people to commit to email how they have dealt with
this in the field. The “export”
you talk about is our Crystal Report module.

Precincts with Cards Report
I have not heard back on this. Does anyone see a potential problem with
the Base Precincts with Cards report not working in Georgia or Florida?

Subject: RE: GEMS 1.17.17 Base
Precincts with Cards Report
Hi Whitman,
Thanks for verifying the problem and the method of changing the
password, as well as info on how to check reports version – I do have
1.17.17. It seems that your solution is to go with a later version of the GEMS
reports, which will probably work in many states. Am I correct in assuming that
in a state such as Florida or Georgia where the GEMS version certified is only
1.17.17, reports version 1.17.22 is not a viable option? This can cause some
big headaches in large jurisdictions where there are many splits, and the
jurisdiction is relying on the Base Precincts with Cards report to distribute
ballots.
If reports 1.17.22 is not an option, does anyone have a workaround,
perhaps using some type of export that can then be manipulated into a usable
report? I guess the main workaround is to print the Cards with Base Precincts
report and use it. Has anyone dealt with this in the field?
Thanks.

Hi
Mark,
Database is attached. Note
the password is Diebold – capital D, not my doing. BTW, can I change the
admin password for one database only by going into the Setup Users menu in that
particular database?
Yes,
you can change the password from the Setup Users menu. Just close and
re-open GEMS with the new password.
The failure I see (I guess
it is a failure) is that for any Report Precinct with more than one Base
Precinct; if the base precincts share a ballot style, the style is only listed
for the first Base Precinct. I understand the report should show every ballot
style for every base precinct. The way it works now, it appears that the second
BP does not have a particular style.
Please
download GEMS-Reports-1-17-22.zip for the fix. The password is
"bccrbinmpfndt".
Also, I do not know whether
I got the report file bundle with 1.17.17. How can I check this?
FYI,
the first line in the "\Program Files\GEMS\Reports.ini" file always
contains the version number of the Reports package. If the report package
is bundled with the GEMSIS package, the reports version is the same as the GEMS
version. If not, it has probably overwritten by an other version for
report package downloaded from our FTP site.
