In addition to the Report Painter, you can also use the Report Writer to define reports. As the latter offers a large number of features, it takes longer to learn how to use it to maximum advantage.
The following topics describe the additional features required to create reports using Report Writer.
Note
Since Report Painter has most of the features offered by Report Writer, but is easier to use, it is generally recommended that you use Report Painter where possible.
