Stat Report Definition Maintenance

The Stat Report Definition Maintenance table defines the security levels of all the reports available in the Stat Report Library. It also defines how they are presented and described in the Stat Report Wizard.

The Stat Report Library includes all predefined reports, and any custom reports defined by users. With a predefined report type, you can change the security level and its description in the Stat Report Library, but you cannot directly modify the report format itself.

Stat report security is controlled by the user class right, Stat Report Definition - Edit. There is no add right.

The Stat Report Definition Maintenance table is displayed in a standard maintenance window. To open this window, select Maintenance | General | Stat Reports.

For predefined reports, you can edit the short and long description and security level.

If desired, you can also select the Inactive option if you do not wish the report to display on the Report Wizard list.

Adding Custom Reports

All Stat reports are defined by corresponding .jrxml files. Custom reports are created by formatting a .jrxml file using the 3rd party reporting tool Jaspersoft Studio. You can create a report file from scratch, or you use a copy of an existing file as a starting point. For more information on creating report files, see Appendix: Custom Report Files .

After you have defined the .jrxml file that is the basis for your custom report, you can add it to the Stat Report Library.

To add a custom report:

Click New.

This opens the Define New Custom Report window.

Click Load and select the custom report .jrxml file you want use as the basis for the report.
