Standard Options
The following set of options are common to several different types of reports.
The Id field displays a unique identifier label for the report. This label
cannot be modified.
The Name field can be used to provide a name for the report. The report name
is used for identification purposes only.
When this button is pressed, a window is opened to enable you to add selections
to the Identifier list. Selections are added to the bottom
of the list as they are chosen. Items can be removed from the Identifier list
by selecting the desired items and pressing the Remove button.
The Identifier list contains the list of variables that have been selected
to provide identifying information for the report. For instance, the values
of these variables are used to identify (highlight) records in a tabular
report or activity bars on a Gantt chart. Use the
Identifiers button to add items to this list.
When this button is pressed, a window is opened to enable you to add selections
to the Sub-Group list. Selections are added to the bottom
of the list as they are chosen. Items can be removed from the Sub-Group list
by selecting the desired items and pressing the Remove button.
The Sub-Group list contains the list of variables that have been selected
to provide grouping information for the report. For instance, like values
of these variables are used to group records in a tabular report for
separate analysis. Similarly, like values of these variables divide
activities into groups for display on separate Gantt charts. Note that this
separation (and any necessary sorting) is done automatically. Use the
Sub-Groups button to add items to this list.
When this button is pressed, highlighted selections in the Identifier
and Sub-group lists are deleted.
If you press the OK button, the current values displayed in the window
are stored and the window is closed.
If you press the Cancel button, all values displayed in the window are
returned to their original values (as when the window was opened) and the
window is closed.
When this button is pressed, the report is generated. This option is
very useful for testing modifications to a report before actually saving the
changes.
When this button is pressed, a window is displayed for modifying the report
source code. Changes to the source code should be made with care as
incorrect changes can disable report options or cause the report to fail
entirely. In the Edit Source window, type ok on the command line to save
changes and cancel to cancel.
