This standard header includes the report title, the time at which the report was run, and the date range
included in the report.
The variables available for use in the template include any of the parameters defined in the report, as well as
the following special variables:
Final Report
You are able to view the final report by clicking on the Final Report option. The report is displayed in a new
window.
If the report has not met your expectations, you are able to return to the Report Editor by closing the final
report window. Changes can then be made in the appropriate area of the Report Editor.
Creating Reports
You can create a report by clicking the Report Manager’s Create New Report command link on the
Reporting start page.
Using this command link creates a basic data report for the specified time range, and for the specified data
fields.
The report editor may then be used to further customize the report by defining new filters, classification
groups and output series.
