To run a pre-defined report either supplied with the product or created by a user, click Reports in the Reporting group of the Home tab. From the menu that is then displayed, click Run Reports.
The Run Report window is then displayed:
The window is used to select the report definition (a .repv file).
To select a report first select the report definition location from the Look In drop-down:
These locations correspond to the following folders:
Product: %PDMSDFLTS%\Data\Reports
Project: %<PRJ>INFO%\Reports
User: %PDMSUSER%\Data\Reports
Select Browse… to look for report definitions in an alternative folder.
The report definitions supplied with the product are located in the Product folder.
Once a folder has been selected, the report definitions in that folder are listed in the Report Definition tab. Click on a report definition to view a preview of it.
To run the selected report and exit the window, click Run.
The Run Report window of the Report Designer is then displayed, from which the report can be printed and/or exported. For further information on Report Designer, see the Reporting User Guide.
