Report Creation Workflow

Approaches for Creating Reports

You can create and generate reports :

• Interactively, using the Report Explorer

• Programmatically, using the DOM (Document Object Model) API

You can use the Report Explorer graphical interface to create reports without having to

write code.

Using the programmatic approach, you can integrate report generation into analysis and

testing applications. For more information, see “Programmatic Report Creation”.

Interactive Report Generation

Open the Report Explorer.

Create a report setup file. For details about report setups, see “Report Setup”.

Add content by adding to the report setup file existing components or custom

components that you create. For details about using components, see “Working with

Components”.

Apply styles and standards to the report by choosing an existing stylesheet

or a custom stylesheet. For details on stylesheets and attributes, see “Layout

Stylesheets”.

Generate the report. See “Generate Reports”.
