6. Define which rows of data from specific CMS database tables will supply data for the
grids and charts on the report. If you copy a report design, the definitions of that
report’s queries are copied. You can then modify the queries, as required.
This step is optional.
For more information, see About queries
on page 112.
7. Define what data from the queries should appear in each chart, field, or table on the
report. If you copy a report design, the definitions of that report’s charts, fields, and
tables are copied. You can then modify the definitions as required.
This step is optional.
For more information, see any of the following chapters:
● Insert | Chart on page 133
● Insert | Field on page 141
● Insert | Table on page 153
8. Enter text to provide headings for the tables and charts on the report, and to provide
additional information, such as the report name. If you copy a report design, the text of
that report is copied. You can then modify the text as desired.
This step is optional.
For more information, see Insert | Text
on page 149.
9. Define fields on the report to show when the report was run and what items the report
covers as defined in the report input window. If you copy a report design these fields
are copied. You can modify them as required.
This step is optional.
For more information, see Insert | Field
on page 141.
10. Save the report before you test it.
11. Test your report immediately after you design and save it. A test helps eliminate
wasted time in running a report that has an incomplete design.
