The Report tab allows the user the ability to add or edit a single report record. Only Custom Reports, those created by the user, can be edited. In a Standard Report, those created by ClinPlus CTMS, the user can only change the parameter to make the report available to all users. A standard report template can be edited by clicking . This will produce a duplicate of the selected template and creates the name by having "Copy of" plus the name of the current report in the Name field. This field can be changed as well as the other fields on this tab and the other tabs, including the Design, Report Fields, Group Fields, Sort Fields, and Parameter Fields tabs.
Clicking will open a new tab that will allow the user the ability to select report parameters for the report to produce the desired information. When this button is clicked, the Report Run Dialog will opene for the current report. Any unsaved changes will be saved prior to running the report.
