for details.
• By pressing a function key. See “Customizing Toolbars, Menus and Function
Keys” on page 64 for details.

page 193.
Configuring a New Report
To add a report to your system:
1 From the Reports display, decide on a report number for the report you
want to configure. You can choose either the first available unassigned
report row under Report, or any empty report row in the display.
2 Click the row for the unassigned report number you want to use. This calls
up the Report configuration displays.
