Understanding Report Templates
Report Expert includes a fixed number of report templates. These
are partial reports where the data fields to be displayed are already
defined. The data fields and behavior of these templates are fixed, so
you cannot easily change them. However, you can apply parameter
sets to report templates to change both the content and the
appearance of the resulting report.
In this chapter you will learn about standard report templates that
are available with Report Expert.
You will use this information to create your own reports. See
"Viewing and Generating Reports (page 97)" for details.
For information regarding the source of all raw data used by Report
Expert, see "Raw Data (page 76)".
For a list of the report templates, the queries the report templates
use, and the fields in each of those queries, see "Query Fields (page
72)".
When you use the Report Expert drillthrough capability by clicking
a data value in a report template, the resulting report displays data
based on the new row grouping. There is a set hierarchy of data
groupings as you drill through a report. For example, if you drill
through a report that contains a week’s data for a single work cell,
the resulting report will be grouped by day.
Following is the drillthrough hierarchy for the report templates
supporting Report Expert drillthrough capability:
