Customizing a Report Management Report

To create a custom standard report, first select the report in the Report Management applet using the drop-down list on the upper left part of the form. Each report has at least one report design flagged as System. These designs, or a previously made custom design, can be copied.
The Copy function is located in the toolbar menu, click Copy.
When clicked, it will prompt for a report name that must be unique.  Add the name and click OK.
After copying a report, it can be downloaded (Download button located on the toolbar) to a local disk folder and modified using Microsoft Report Designer.
When done, use the Upload function in the Report Management applet to save your design. More on Uploading a report
