How to Download a Report.

All report layouts are stored in the database. In order to modify a report layout, download it to the local hard disk and modify it using Microsoft Report Designer. Anytime columns in the dataset change, download and re-upload the report.

 


 

Step 1 - A Folder Navigator will appear when Download is selected (Fig.1).
