Methods for adding and editing reports

Reporting : Native reporting system : How to edit or add a report : Methods for adding and editing reports

There are two methods by which report information may 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 these commands MATRIX, DEFINE, POSITION, PARTIAL, and ORDERBY, you must use a text editor to change or add report details. If you select a report to edit and it 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 may use the Report Editor.

Note Any report can be edited using the Text Editor even if the report content does not mandate its use. Five of the pre-written reports must be edited using the Text Editor (see Pre-written reports that require the Text Editor).
