Using a query in a Web report
To control which records from the form will appear in the report, build a query to
select the data when the report runs. The query is saved as part of the report
definition.
You can use the simple query builder, the advanced query builder, or both. The
simple query builder joins all query statements with the AND operator.
Alternatively, advanced users can build the query using AR System query syntax
with the advanced query builder. To use the operator types OR or NOT, you must
use the advanced query builder.
Using the simple query builder
The Report Console includes a simple query builder that allows you to quickly
construct a simple query. By default, the report designer screen opens with the
simple query builder active.
