To customize table views for reports:
1
Access the report that you want to customize. For instructions on generating a report, see Generating reports.
2
In the report window, click the Settings link at the upper-right corner of the table. If the report contains multiple components, click the link associated with the table that you want to modify.
3
In the Table Settings dialog box, the available columns are listed. The columns that have the corresponding Show check box selected are included in the table view. For example, the following Table Settings dialog box is displayed for the report- Data Stored By Client.
