There are two ways to run a report from the IDE.
Running the report template currently being edited.
This is done by selecting the Run
button from the
toolbar, or by selecting View/Run from the menu.
Running a specific report template
Please open the report list in the structure pane, and press the right mouse
button over a report to pop up the context menu.
- Use Edit to look at the design rather than the resulting
output.
- Select Run to run the template and to
view
it interactively.
- Print Sends the report directly to the default printer.
- Print... Pops up the printer selection dialog, and prints
the report on the selected printer.
- Export CSV Select export to run the template and to export
it in an
office
compatible
format. (Comma separated values- CSV)
- Export HTMLSelect this to generate the report as a html
file which can be viewed in a web browser. Export as Html also supports the
XHtml format which can be used to process the resulting file with XML tools.
(E.g. XSLT Transformations) Pops up the
html
export wizard to configure
the export.
- Export PDF Generates an Adobe PDF (Portable Document
Format) file for the report.
- Export XML Generates an XML file from the report. This is
different from the xhtml format, as it is not layout, but rather data oriented.
Pops up the file chooser to select a file to write to.
-
Send as EmailGenerates a PDF file and sends it to the specified receiver. This requires the
email to be configured in the report properties.
-
Export as RTFGenerates a Microsoft Office or OpenOffice compatible that can be loaded int a word
processor for further editing.
Note, that Word does not support all features of ReportsAnywhere and therefore the export is sometimes limited.
- Run The run button in the toolbar runs the report in the
editor. (Not the one in the template list)
