Ad hoc reports

Ad hoc reports in QMF for Workstation provide users with a way to create and generate reports that meet individual users' design requirements quickly and easily.

Ad hoc reports use a canvas and scenes to graphically represent information retrieved from a database. They provide an extempore and user-friendly way to design reports.

When creating a report, you can place multiple objects on the Canvas and manage the Canvas space to suit to your purposes. Typically, the Canvas represents what you believe to be the most appropriate set of data objects.

The Canvas Internal Tree displays the contents of your home workspace and allows you to add the objects contained in it to your report.
