Report form fields used by applications
Managing reports with the Report form
Some fields in the report form are used by reports installed with BMC Remedy
applications, but not with ad hoc reports created in the Report Console. These
include:
Category fields—These cause reports to be filtered by the Category menu in the
Report Console. They form a hierarchy with three levels. All three, or none,
should be set. You can create your own categories by using these fields if you
need to.
Date range fields—These are used by BMC Remedy application reports only.
Report set name—This field used by BMC Remedy application reports only.
The combination of the report set name and locale must be unique.
Deleting report definitions
Only the administrator and the person who created a report can delete it. There are
two possible ways to delete a report definition:
Select the report in the Report Console, and then click Delete.
Search the Report form for the report, and then select the entry in the results list,
and click Delete.
NOTE
To make a report unavailable without deleting it, select Inactive or Pending in the
Status field of the Report form, or set Visible in Console to No.
Report form entries for externally defined reports
If you create a report by some means outside of the Report Console, such as a
Crystal report or a BMC Remedy User report definition, and you want it to appear
in the Report Console or in the ReportSelection form, you must manually add an
entry for the report to the Report form and attach the report definition file in the
Report Definition File field.
If your server is a Unicode server, you cannot create a record in the Report form by
attaching an .arr file created in BMC Remedy User. Instead, use the
ReportCreator form to create reports on a Unicode server.
