Opening the Report viewer

There are several ways to view a Dynamic Report:

It is also possible to create a shortcut that will launch the Dynamic Reports module and automatically open the report you specify. For more information, see Setting up shortcuts for automatic functions or the .Launch module.

Viewing, sending and printing a report

When a report is open in the viewer window, you can browse the report and send it to a file, an application, or the printer. You can also return to the Retrieval Settings or the Report Design to make changes to the report.

Alternately, you can use the following method to send the report to another file type:

      1. Click the File menu, point to Send to, and then click File.

      2. On the Save As screen, choose the location, file name and file type for the new file you want to create. Then click Save.

If you click the File menu, point to Send to, and then click any other option (e.g., PDF, HTML, etc.), the program will use a default file name to create the file in your Windows TEMP folder and then open this new file using the Windows default program for this type of file.
