There are several ways to launch the Report Designer window where you will design the report:
On the Report Retrieval Settings screen for any report, click Design Report. Alternately, you may click the File menu and then click Design Report.
From the SPC Reports, DMS Reports Advanced Reports or Mixed Reports tab on the Dynamic Reports screen, highlight the report you want to design and then click Design Report.
Alternately, you may right-click the report you want to design and then click Design Report. Or you can highlight the report you want to design, click the File menu, and then click Design Report.
From the View Report screen, click the button. Alternately, you may click the File menu and then click Design Report.
All of these methods will launch the Report Designer window:
Note: When you use the Dynamic Reports module, the Report Designer window may launch slowly the first time you use it. After this window has been launched once, you can quickly navigate between this window and other windows (the retrieval settings screen, the report viewer, and the Dynamic Reports main screen). |
