Methods for adding and editing reports
There are two methods by which report information can be changed. The method used to change or add new information depends upon the content of the report.
If the report you want to edit or add contains one or more of the following commands, you must use a text editor to change or add report details:
MATRIX command
DEFINE command
POS subcommand
PARTIAL command
ORDERBY command
If you try to edit a report that contains one or more of these commands, a warning dialog displays (see Use Text Editor dialog), and you are forced to edit the report in the text editor.
If these commands are not in your report, you can use the Report Editor.
Any report can be edited using the text editor even if the report content does not mandate its use. Some of the pre-written reports must be edited using a text editor (see Pre-written reports that require the Text Editor).
