Adding a Report Record
To add a report record, enter an A in the Function field and enter the report information. Press
Enter to add the report record. To decrease report maintenance tasks, VISTA automatically creates
skeleton report records for reports when the folder is initially opened.
A skeleton report record does not have a description or security information. The Modify command
can be used to assign descriptions and security information to a skeleton report record.
Finding a Report Record
To find a report record, enter the letter F in the Function field and enter a report name in the
Report Name field. Press Enter, and VISTA will find the report record and display it. If the record
cannot be found, a message is displayed indicating that the requested record was not found. After a
record is found, you can use the modify function to change field values or the delete function to
delete the report record.
Listing Report Records
Use F1 to view and print report records. From this listing, you can easily identify the skeleton
report records which still lack security information. When you exit this window, the current
window and report record are displayed.
