About the Report Wizard

Report Wizard is a supplement to Report Designer and is available only if
you have purchased Report Designer. The Report Wizard feature delivers
user assistance, by way of a wizard, to quickly and easily generate new
customized reports. The wizard provides instructional help that guides you
through a series of tasks that create a new customized report.
The following features are available in the Report Wizard:
●
Creating a new report
●
Previewing the new report
●
Saving the new report
●
Running the new report.
All reports created using Report Wizard have the same designation and
accessibility as those created in Report Designer. Thus, reports created by
Report Wizard are referred to as Report Designer reports. This means that
reports created by Report Wizard will be accessible only by
CentreVu
®
Supervisor users.
