Running a report

“Running a report” is a term commonly used to refer to generating report output. That output can be viewed on your desktop, written to a file, or printed on paper. You can generate the output for any standard or pre-written report as soon as you have the appropriate information in your encyclopedia. There are four basic steps to report on the information in your encyclopedia.
