Report Studio

Report Studio Introduction

Report Studio is a Web-based tool that allows report authors use to build sophisticated, multiple-page, multiple-query reports against multiple databases. With Report Studio, you can create any report that your company requires, such as invoices, statements, and weekly sales and inventory reports.

Before you use Report Studio to design and create a report, some information is required. For each report, answer the following questions:

Who is the target audience?
What business question do you want to answer?
Which type of report will best answer the business question?
What are the data sources, and where are they?
Which data items and calculations are needed?
What are the security needs?
How will the report be distributed?

Answering some of these questions before report creation will allow you to create a more effective report.
