Why define an input field?
When you define the type of an input field, CMS will be able to do the following when your
users run the report:
● Check that user entries are valid system values and are values CMS can use to search
the database tables.
● Check your users for permission to run a report for the entries.
● Allow your users to enter names defined in the Dictionary subsystem.
Add only relevant information
Add inputs that are only used in the report queries. If you add additional inputs that are not
used in the queries, then irrelevant information that references those inputs will be
displayed on the input window for the report.
Fields you do not define
You will not need to define the following input fields:
● If you want to define a real-time report, you cannot and do not need to define an Update
Rate in Seconds input field because the field is automatically included in the Report
Input window.
● If you want to define a historical report, you cannot and do not need to define a Report
Destination input field because the field is automatically included in the Report Input
window.
● If you want to define an integrated report, you cannot and do not need to define a Start
Time input field because the field is automatically included in the Report Input window.
