Can't prefill a report.

 

I am attempting to use OW to prefill a report on the positive observation that I recorded last night (26 Dec).
?
If I right click on the event in "My Events" and select Report Observation, the title on the dialog that pops up says "Report Observation".? The associated Prefill Report File button is greyed out.
?
If I right click on a previous event in "All Events" and select Report Observation, the title on the dialog that pops up says "Asteroidal Occultation Report Addin, ver. 1.9".? The associated Prefill Report File button is NOT greyed out and I can then fill out the spreadsheet.
?
I have no idea how I got myself into this situation but is there anyway I can prefill a report from here?

Hi Tom,

Did you actually report to OW the result of your observation first as was this a positive detection or a negative?

You can only prefill the report form if you have actually observed i.e. report forms for Clouded Out observations are not currently enabled.

Could that be the problem?

Also is this a 'proper' My Event where you have selected an observation location and have announced it to everyone else, or is it a 'Follow up' event where you effectively have not selected a location and have not picked an observing site?

Hristo.

Hristo,
To answer your questions:

My thought process was to first report that an observation was made but since a positive or negative result may not be found until after processing,?I initially chose "Observed - report to follow".? Now that I can see a positive event, choosing "Report a positive" does not allow prefilling the spread sheet.
?
Selecting the event shows "There is currently 1 announced station for this event. 1 of them is yours."? I'm assuming that means it was announced to others.

Hi Tom,

If you have reported positive or negative the button should be enabled.
Wondering if it was a refresh problem after you reported positive/negaite i.e. if it was needed to select the event again and try again.

I don't see any other reason why this should not be working.

Hristo.
