General Screen Instructions (Query/Report Generator) |
To view information and perform actions on this screen, you must have authorization.
For a list of keys to use instead of the mouse, go to the Keyboard Guide.
To display information about the design of a report, select the report name in the list box in the top section of the screen.
To view the data of a report in the system's default layout, complete the following steps.
Select the report name in the list box in the top section of the screen.
The name displays in the Report name field.Click the Quick View Query button.
Note: You cannot close the Query/Report Generator screen until the system has retrieved the data.
To enlarge the size of the window to see more of the query results, point to the top border of the quick view window. When the pointer turns to a two-headed arrow, drag the border until the window is the size you want (an outline indicates the size you are creating) and release the mouse button.
The unformatted data displays in a window at the bottom of the screen.
Note: A quick view query sends the data only to the screen; it cannot send the data to a printer or a file. Use quick view queries when you are more interested in the data values than the data format on the screen. To run a report and send data to a printer or file, see how to run a report.
For general instructions on how to update, run, save, or delete a report, go to the Manage tab of the Queries/Reports -> Query/Report Generator screen.
Note: System administrators can alter specific screens by determining the fields that appear, the fields that require information, the fields that specific users are allowed to view and/or update, and the color of alert tabs. Help describes ALL fields and controls available prior to such alterations.
