Run a report

How you open an MES BI Gateway Report to run it depends on how they are deployed. For example, if reports are generated according to a schedule and emailed to recipients, the email can contain a link that opens the report.

Open and run a report from the MES reports web page in SSRS Report Manager

1. Click the report name link.

   The report opens in a new browser window.

   Each report has parameters for specifying time ranges, report-specific filters, and in some cases options to show or hide elements of the report. Within SSRS, copies of the reports can be created to remove, pre-populate, and otherwise modify the provided reports.

2. Set the desired parameters.

   Note that the Start Date and End Date are calendar controls for picking a specific day. If a time is also required, it can be typed in manually.

3. Click View Report to run the report.

   The report appears, with the data content set according to the selected parameters.
