Enterprise Reporter 3.2.2 - Report Manager User Guide

Quest Enterprise Reporter Report Manager Introducing the Report Manager Running and Scheduling Reports Creating and Editing Reports Troubleshooting Issues with Enterprise Reporter

Report Modification Example

The following example walks you through all of the steps necessary to modify a report.

Example: You want to modify the SQL Database report to only display databases from SQL Servers® running SQL Server® 2008. The report in the library does not include the version in it, so you will need to add that field to the report. You are going to change the title to reflect this, so you do not need to include the version for each database. This means you will use a hidden parameter for the version, and filter the data to show only the version you choose.

3
Click Edit Report.
4
Change the title of the report to SQL Server® 2008 Databases.
5
Click the Fields tab, and add the Version field to the report.
6
Click the Parameters tab and click Create.
10
Select the SQL Server® version you want (for example, SQL Server® 2008 is version 10.0).
11
12
Optionally, click Show preview to generate a sample of the report to review the edits.
13
Click OK in the Edit Report Definition dialog box.

Creating New Reports

If you are unable to get the information you want by modifying an existing report, you can create a new report from scratch. In cases when you cannot get the information you want by creating reports from existing fields and operators, or when you need to transform the data, you can use a custom query report.

Creating Report Layouts

The report layout determines the how information is grouped, sorted, and displayed in a report. Report layouts are optional; however, reports without a layout may only be exported in CSV format.

There are three ways to create a new layout for a report. 1) You can start from scratch, and manually place fields and text labels, set sorting and grouping and so on. 2) You can import a layout from an existing report. 3) Layouts can be auto-generated using the Report Wizard. By stepping through the six steps in the wizard, you can easily generate a layout that includes the relevant fields in a useful manner:

For a full explanation of the creating new layouts, refer to Report Designer Tips and Tricks and the Report Designer User Guide (Developer Express), located in the folder where you installed the Report Manager.
