Adding Reports to a Report Group 

Prerequisites

You have reached step 5 of the procedure creating a report group or you want to include a further report in the report group. On the Create Report Group screen you have already chosen Goto ® Reports and are on the screen Create Report Group: Reports.

Procedure

  1. Enter the name of the report you want to include in the report group in the Report field. You can, of course, enter several reports that you want to assign to the report group.
