Creating a QuickView Report
If you highlight a DataBlock you can see the option to create a new report in the detail
pane.
You can also right-click on the DataBlock and go to New Report. The “Create a New
Report” dialog box appears. Give the report a name and a description if desired.
Next, choose what kind of report you want to create: QuickView, CSV, Banded, or Extract.
As you select each report a description of the report type is shown to the right. (Select
QuickView). If the DataBlock does not contain a report query, the CSV and banded reports
are not accessible and will be greyed out.
