You can set two categories of retrieval options for an Advanced report or for an Advanced retrieval in a Mixed report:
a database query to return values from one or more tables in the current database connection
SPC or DMS statistics
Choosing more items for the report or the retrieval – such as statistics or database fields – will take more time and more system resources on your computer, so it is best to report only the items that you really need.
After defining or changing retrieval settings, you can design the report or view the report.
