Adding reports
After creating a report, use the Report Administration
application to register the report to the database so the user can
access and run it. If you use the reports.cmd
command
to import all reports, libraries, and resource files, do not individually
add reports through this procedure.
Procedure
- Click the New Report icon.
- In the Report File Name field, type the file name of the report, with the file extension, exactly as you created it in the report designer.
- In the Report Type field, select the type of report.
- In the Application field, enter the application that end users use to run this report. The application name you select determines the application from which the user can access the report and the attribute names of any report parameters.
- Select the Report Folder field. This field defaults to the value you enter in the Application field.
- Optional: To add a parameter-based report,
add a new row and enter parameter information. After you register parameters, the end user can use those parameters to have the system filter data. The report generates only the information that the end user needs.
- Save the report.
- Generate the request page to apply the changes.
