Viewing and Generating Reports
In this chapter you will learn how to generate and view reports using
the Report Viewer.
The reports available on the Explorer page are combinations of
report templates and parameter sets. They are arranged first by the
time period (current shift, yesterday, etc.) on which they report, and
then by the report template they use. The reports installed by default
are examples only.
Use the Explorer page to browse and view saved reports:
• Expand a folder in the tree to view its contents.
• Collapse a folder in the tree to hide its contents.
• Click a report in the tree to view it in the display area.
• Click a web address in the tree to view its content in the
display area.
NOTE
Administrators can modify the content available on the Explorer
page. See "Configuring the Report Tree of the Explorer Page
(page 146)" for details.
Use the Parameters page to:
• Generate reports with existing parameter sets (page 98).
• Generate reports with existing parameter sets that you
customize temporarily (page 98).
• Create new parameter set for your reports (page 99).
