Design Mode
In Report Writer, use Design mode to create new reports and modify or rename
existing reports. The options available for both creating and modifying reports are
the same. Design mode options are also dynamic, based upon the type of report,
included report data, and report presentation. Available options differ according to
the type of report that you are designing, but all reports require that you select the
data to include and decide how that data will be sorted, ordered, filtered, and
presented.
Creating and Modifying Reports
Use the following procedure to modify or create reports in Report Writer.
To open a report with Report Writer:
