Reports

You can configure reports using the report wizard. The report wizard generates a report configuration based on the resources you select.

The report wizard submits the configuration to the reporting engine, which uses the configuration data to select data from the database, organize it, and format the final report. Additionally, you can customize a report configuration by saving your configuration under a new report name or as a version of an existing report.

In addition to the report configuration, you can schedule reports to run based on time or date or generate reports on demand. Only one schedule can exist for each report configuration. After a scheduled report is generated, it can be stored on your file system or e-mailed (compressed format) to a recipient. When you create a report schedule, the system creates a business process called ReportName_scheduleBP, where ReportName is the name of report configuration.

The system allows you to delete a report configuration or a version of a report configuration if more than one version exists. You should not delete the original version of a report installed with the system.

When you delete all versions of a report configuration that has been scheduled (including the default configuration), the system also deletes the associated schedule and the business process that was created automatically by the schedule.
