3 Select a report template or select None to use the default built-in report template. Click Next.
4 Select a table as the report data source and click Next. All the available tables you can select as data sources are listed in a tree.
5 To view all the fields in a table, click the plus sign next to the table to expand the tree.
6 This screen offers you several options to define how the data will be organized on the page. Select the layout that best approximates what you want the final report to look like.
