BMC Remedy Action Request System 7.6.04 168 BMC Remedy Mid Tier Guide (Optional) To limit the list of forms to those that are already used in other reports, select Forms Used in Existing Reports. This can speed up retrieval of the list of forms, but any form that is not already used in some report does appear on the list. To find the form quickly, type the first few letters of the form name into the field. For example, type “Sample” to select from the list of forms related to the Sample application. 5 Select or deselect the “Add default fields and sort order” check box: Selected—Fields that appear in the form’s results list after a search are automatically added to the report definition, along with the default sort order. You can remove or change these fields and sort order later if necessary. Not selected—No fields are added to the report definition automatically. 6 In the Name field, type a name for the report. This field is required. The report name must be unique. The maximum length is 128 characters. Also, you cannot change the name of the report after you exit this screen, so use care in assigning a report name. NOTE Each report must have a unique Name/Locale combination. For example, two reports can both be name “Monday”, if the locale for each report is different. 7 Click OK. If you selected the Web report type, the Report Console report designer screen appears. Build the Web report definition using the following procedures: “Defining a Web list report” on page 168 “Defining a Web chart report” on page 170 “Using a query in a Web report” on page 173 If you selected the AR System report type, the ReportCreator form opens instead. See “Defining AR System reports” on page 177. Defining a Web list report List reports are presented in the form of a table, with one column for each field that you add to the report. One column of the report includes a link to the record in the underlying form (assuming the form properties allow this), so you can open the record and view the data underlying the report. For example, a partial report based on the Sample:Classes form might list all class records in the form, showing the class title, location, instructor and number enrolled.
Figure C-4: Example list report based on the Sample:Classes form Creating reports A link to the underlying data appears in the report results, assuming the form properties allow this. The link is created on the Request ID if it is included in the report. If the Request ID field is not included, the link is created on the Short Description field, if included, or on the first field in the report (the left-most column). To define a list report 1 Follow the steps described in “To start a new report” on page 167. 2 (Optional) In the Report Definition area, add a brief description of the report in the Description field. This description appears in the list of reports in the Report Console. If you do not enter a description, it is identified as a “Web Report.” 3 In the Content field, select List or Chart + List. List—The report is presented as a table. Chart + List—The report is presented as a chart, followed by a table. Use this procedure to define the list section of the report. To define the chart, see “Defining a Web chart report” on page 170. 4 (Optional) To share this report with other users who share at least one permission group in common with you, clear the Private check box. Other users must have also permission to the form in order to run the report, and they must have permission to the fields included in the report in order to see the data in the report. 5 In the Columns tab, select fields from the Available Fields list to include in the report, and then click Add, double-click, or drag them to the Column list. You must add at least one field to the Column list to be able to save the report. If you selected “Add default fields and sort order” when creating the report, the defined results list fields for the form are already in the Column list. You can select multiple fields at a time from the Available Fields list. To add all fields to the report, click Add All. You can include any field type except Diary fields in the report.
