Launching Report Designer
The QAD Reporting Framework gives you not only the simplicity to build basic reports from scratch, but also the flexibility to tailor them to meet your specific requirements.
The basic report generated for you by the Report Wizard is a good starting point, but you will usually need to adjust and enhance it to get exactly what you want. You can do this with Report Designer.
Use one of the following ways to access Report Designer:
Type Report Resource Designer in the menu search field and press Enter.
If you have created a menu item for your report, locate it in the Applications Pane and right-click on it; then choose Design from the shortcut menu. The Report Designer window appears.
Note: Before you can access Report Designer to create a report definition, you must first create a valid report resource.
