Maintaining Report Classes 

You create the structure of report classes in the report portfolio under Information system ® Report portfolio ® Report class ® Create. If you wish to create a hierarchy for a new user group, you should create the top report class first and then build the hierarchy from top to bottom.

1. Enter the name of the user group and a description for the new report class.

Here also, you can use an existing report class as a reference.

Choose Goto ® Report class overview.

2. On the next screen, a number is automatically assigned to the report class. Here, you define which color the report class should be displayed in. You also maintain the structure of the report portfolio, the hierarchical arrangement of the report classes. When you create the top position in the hierarchy you do not have to specify the position of the node. If you wish to position a new report class under an existing class, enter the existing report class number in the field Upper-level report class . If several report classes are already positioned under a report class, a new report class is positioned at the far right, as long as the field Right report class remains vacant. If you make an entry in this field, however, you can specify exactly where the new report class is to be positioned.
3. Save your entries.

You can change and display a report class in a similar way.

4. After you have created some report classes, you should call up the hierarchy graphic using Report class overview . This shows the structure in graphic form. To change the display of the graphic, you must access the hierarchy graphic via the user group (see Maintaining User Groups).

You can print a report class using MS Winword. For more information see Printing with Microsoft Word for Windows in the Report Portfolio.
