Report group window

Windows used to manage report groups:

All these windows are opened from the context menu of the Report settings and Report groups directories.

Selecting the Edit command opens the editor window. In this window, you can edit the parameters of one or more report groups.

If one report group is selected in the group data grid, the Report group editor window opens. The window is composed of the Properties and Access panels.

Window fields:

  • Parent group indicates the report group which contains the current group.

    You can select or change the parent group in the drop-down list or the data grid of the Select report group window.

    To move a group to the top level, select (empty) in the drop-down list.

  • Name denotes the name of the group of reports. This is a required field.

  • Description is a description of the report group.

    Any additional information can be entered in this field.

Click OK to save data. Selecting Apply will save data without closing the window. Selecting Cancel will close the window without saving data.

Applied changes are displayed in both the data grid of the Report groups directory and the tree list of reports and report groups in the Report settings directory.

When two or more reports groups are selected for editing, the multiple report groups editor window opens. A panel with a list of the selected groups is added to the window, and its name changes to Report groups.

The fields are similar to those in the Report group window.

The entry window allows you to add a new group to the Report groups and Report settings directories. It also enables you to add two or more groups to the Report groups directory.

You can open the New report group entry window by using the Add command in the Report groups directory window. Another way to open this window is to use the Add group command in the Report settings directory window. Alternatively, the window can be opened by pasting a single report group from the clipboard.
