Creating, Editing, and Deleting Reports 

 

Use

Use the procedures below to create, edit, or delete a report. When you create a report, you group together various charts.

You can create a report from scratch, or based on an existing predefined or custom report.

You cannot delete a predefined report, or edit a predefined report and have it under its original name. To create a report based on a predefined one, you have to edit and save the modified preset report under a new name.

It is technically possible to have up to one new report with the same name as that of a predefined report. However, we recommend that when creating a report, you give it a name that is different from the names of the predefined reports.

When you create, edit or delete a report, the changes you make become available:

●     Only for the currently selected system

●     For all users who work with Java System Reports
