Launch Report Designer

The report designer in Change Auditor uses StimulReport.Net components for designing reports. For a detailed description and functionality of each component available, click F1 to view the Stimulsoft online help (www.stimulsoft.com).

To launch the report designer:

Open the Searches page, locate and select a search definition.
2
Open the Report tab for the selected search and click Design Report.
The report designer appears allowing you to create a custom report layout for the selected search.

NOTE: Once the report designer is launched, the Layout and Columns settings on the Report tab for the selected search are disabled. To re-enable these settings, click Reset at the bottom of the Report tab.

Publish reports

Publish reports

ChangeAuditor supports Microsoft's Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SRS), providing a comprehensive, server-based solution that enables the creation, management and delivery of reports.

To publish reports to a SRS server:
1
Open the Searches page.
2
Expand the Private and Shared folders and select a folder in the explorer view to display the list of search/report definitions stored in the selected folder.
3
From the right-hand pane, right-click a search/report definition and select Publish reports using SQL Reporting Services. This displays the Create Report dialog allowing you to configure the SQL Server Reporting services to be used and to specify the report details. (To publish a series of reports (folder), select a folder in the explorer view.)
4
If not already configured, select the Configure button to specify the reporting services and Change Auditor shared data source to be used.
•
Enter the URL of the SRS server that is to host the ChangeAuditor reports For example: http://<SQL_Server>/<ReportServer>
Where: <SQL_Server> is the name of the server hosting SRS and <ReportServer> is the name of the report server virtual directory. (In a default Reporting Services installation, the name of the virtual directory is reportserver.)
* 
NOTE: You can use the Import SRS Settings button on the Reporting Services Setup dialog to import a SQL Reporting Services template that was previously created to define the necessary SRS settings or enter the SRS settings as defined below.
•
Enter the user account, credentials and domain for a Windows account that has permissions to copy files to SRS.
* 
NOTE: This Windows account requires rights to create SRS reports and data sources on the server (a.k.a. Content Manager).
•
Enter the user account and credentials to be used to access the Change Auditor database (data source).
•
Click Test to verify the credentials entered above.
5
Once you have entered the requested information, Change Auditor will publish the reports to the specified server, which will then be available through SQL Server Reporting Services.
