Using MonitorMagic
A Report Variable is a variable part of the report template and can be used in report items.
Variables that are defined in the template can be used in any of the report items. These variables
are global variables. You can also define local variables inside one of the report items. If you do
that you can not use them in other report items.
Variables can be:
"user input variables" like time, date, period which can be defined by the user when the
report is created
queries which can be used in any of the report items but will mostly be used in the tables.
Variables will only be used in the report when they are used in the report items.
Variables can also be used (nested) inside other variables. This will give you innumerous
variations in making the report.
Elements that are often defined in variables:
Computer name
Date, time, period
They can be "user input variables" like time, date, period which can be defined by the user when
the report is generated and they can be queries which can be used in any of the report items, but
will mostly be used in the tables.
Each item and variable should have a distinctive name which can easily be recognized in the list
that is shown in the template window.
