Cornerstone User Information

FoxFire

FoxFire is a commercially available software product that is designed for use with the type of database files in Cornerstone. Previously, all Cornerstone reports were pre-defined and could not be modified by the users of the reports. Only the Cornerstone development team could change the reports based on approved change requests.

This new type of reporting is referred to as "Ad Hoc" reporting versus "hard coded" reporting. This approach gives users greater flexibility in reporting on the data contained in Cornerstone. By developing specific reports in FoxFire, users will now be able to modify these reports, if desired, to meet their unique reporting needs.

With FoxFire, a report can be prepared by running a pre-defined report request. If the user wants to make changes to the report's formatting, filtering, sorting, processing or data content, then changes can be made to the report request using FoxFire.

The standardized versions of these reports will be supported in the same way as other Cornerstone reports. The only significant difference between the FoxFire reports and other Cornerstone reports is in the way the FoxFire reports are requested.

Appendix H (User Procedures for Reports Using FoxFire) of the electronic Cornerstone User Manual explains how to create and use the standard versions of the Cornerstone FoxFire reports. It also explains each report request and a description of the content and usage of each report.

While FoxFire training is available through the Community Health Training Center (CHTC), the FoxFire application is not supported by any entity involved with the Cornerstone system. As a result, a FoxFire User Group has been formed for interested parties, and the CHTC hosts a FoxFire User Group Home Page.
