Creating a New Report

Categories of data and sub-categories of data can be expanded
(represented with a “+” sign) and collapsed (represented with a “-” sign).
By default, when the Select a Data Group page of the wizard appears,
one category will be expanded with one data group selected. The default
is based on the information (report type and report layout) which you
provided to the wizard previously.
To choose a data group, do the following:
1. Expand the categories of data until you reach the individual data
groups. (Individual data groups cannot be expanded, they are the
lowest category of data.) At this point you have not yet selected the
actual individual data group, you have just narrowed your selection
of a specific category of data. The Next> button will be disabled until
you select a data group—go to Step 2.
2. Under the first, second, or third level of data, click on the data group
you want to use for the section you are defining. The data group is
highlighted and the Next> button is enabled.
You are not required to preselect data for your report. Each category
of data will include a category called No Pre-selection. If you choose
the No Pre-selection option, no data items and calculations will be
listed in the Selected Data Items list view on the Select Data Items
page of the wizard.You will need to manually select the data items
you want to use. See the “Selecting Data Items Page” section in this
chapter for more information about the list views.
3. Select the Next> button to select the data items available for the
data group you chose in Step 2. The Select Data Items page
appears. Go to the next section, “Selecting Data Items Page,” in this
chapter.
