### Creating and Saving New Reports

As stated in the "About the Report Tab" topic, there are two types of reports you can create, WebReporter and ReportView. However, these are created in different areas of the software.

Creating a WebReporter Report

1. Access the Chart, Text, CAD, or Report tabs.

2. If the tabbed window is empty, from the side bar click Apply or Append to send data to it as desired.

3. Fill out any empty fields in the report.

4. Click the Save Report icon from that tab. The Save Report dialog box appears.

5. Click the WebReporter report option.

6. Click OK. A Report dialog box appears. The dialog is discussed in the "Save Report" topic. Fill out this dialog box and click Create. The saved WebReporter report is added to the side bar in the Report tab under the Saved Reports section of the side bar. These can then be applied to report groups.

Note: Keep in mind that the WebReporter Report is a dynamic report that always queries the database to get the latest information. This means if you access this same report at a later date, the information within it may have changed depending on the frequency with which the part data is updated.

Creating a ReportViewer Report

1. Access the Chart, Text, CAD, or Report tabs.

2. If the tabbed window is empty, from the side bar click Apply or Append to send data to it as desired.

3. Fill out any empty fields in the report.

4. Click the Save Report icon from that tab. The Save Report dialog box appears.

5. Click the ReportViewer report option. The Browse button becomes available for selection, and if you're currently accessing the CAD tab, so does the Save CAD model check box. This check box includes the CAD model in the save operation so that users can pan, zoom, and rotate the model within the ReportViewer report.

6. Use the Browse button and specify the report's filename and location. The default location is in the Reports subdirectory where DataPage+ was installed.

7. Click OK. The ReportViewer report is saved as a .dpreport filename.

Note: Keep in mind that the ReportViewer Report is a static snap-shot of the current tab's contents at the time you clicked Save Report. It can only be viewed within the Report Viewer application. Since this is a single file, it functions nicely as a portable report.
