### About the Statistics and Report Generation Tools

In addition to the powerful tools included inside Datapage+ itself, the Datapage+ installation also provides some handy utilities (.exe files) that work together to import statistics data from different file types into a Datapage+ database and automatically generate and send reports.

The following topics describe how to use these tools:

- Using DataPageStats.exe - This tool is intended for use with older versions of PC-DMIS where sending data to a Datapage+ database isn't supported using the usual PC-DMIS's STATS/ON command (prior to PC-DMIS 2010). For those versions, this tool sends statistical data from the PC-DMIS part program to an XML file. Two new DataPageStats modes are also described - Recieving mode and Listening mode.

- Using PcdmisXMLStatsToDatabase.exe - This is an import tool monitors a directory and imports the XML data created from the DataPageStats.exe file into the Datapage+ database (included with Datapage+ 4.0).

- Using DataImporter.exe - This newer import tool supersedes the older PcdmisXMLStatsToDatabase.exe file. It does everything the old import tool does, it supports more file formats than just XML as well as some additional operations. (included with Datapage+ 2011).

- Report Delivery Tool - The Report Delivery tool automatically generates and sends reports.
