Creating a Report

 

When you create a report, you are actually creating a report specification. The report

specification defines the queries and prompts that are used to retrieve data, as well as the

levels and styles used to present the data. For simplicity, the report specification is called the

report.

 

You can also modify an existing report. Open the report, make the required changes, and save

the report.

 

Creating a new report involves

 

choosing a report template
adding query items
saving the report
running the report

 

You can then manipulate the data that will appear in the report and format the report.
