The options available for creating, running, and saving reports vary based on the<br />
report type. AR <strong>System</strong> includes these report types:<br />
Web reports—The Web report type provides browser users the ability to create<br />
nicely formatted reports. Results can be returned in the form of a list, many<br />
styles of charts, or a list and chart together. Web reports can contain links that<br />
allow you to drill down from the report to open AR <strong>System</strong> records and view<br />
the data upon which the report is based. Web reports can be saved in several<br />
standard formats, including Adobe PDF and Postscript, and Microsoft Word,<br />
Excel, and PowerPoint formats.<br />
Web reports are suitable to use in presentations, documents, email, and<br />
printing, and can transfer data directly to spreadsheet format. Also, because<br />
each row in the report output contains a link to the underlying data in the form,<br />
you can use Web reports to work interactively with AR <strong>System</strong> data.<br />
Web reports are not available in <strong>BMC</strong> <strong>Remedy</strong> User.<br />
AR <strong>System</strong> reports—You can use AR <strong>System</strong> reports to generate output in<br />
several standard formats, including XML, .arx, and comma-separated value<br />
(.csv). AR <strong>System</strong> reports are typically used to export data in the specified<br />
format for use in another application, for importing data into another<br />
AR <strong>System</strong> server, and to generate statistics based on the report data.<br />
For information about creating and running reports in <strong>BMC</strong> <strong>Remedy</strong> User, see<br />
the <strong>BMC</strong> <strong>Remedy</strong> User help. To locate existing reports in <strong>BMC</strong> <strong>Remedy</strong> User,<br />
use the ReportSelection form rather than the Report Console.<br />
Crystal reports—Some installations of AR <strong>System</strong> are integrated with the SAP<br />
BusinessObjects or Crystal Reports reporting tools. If your administrator has<br />
installed one of these products and has designed Crystal reports for use with<br />
AR <strong>System</strong>, you can run Crystal reports from the Report Console.
