You can directly run reports from browses by selecting Report from the Action menu in the browse screen. The sorting, grouping, and search criteria in the browse are all carried over to the report, which uses the browse as its data source. You can further filter data in the report by defining new search criteria in the Filter screen. This is an alternative to generating a browse-based report by creating a report resource and manually specifying a browse as its data source. However, since you do not create a report resource, the browse-based report created this way cannot be assigned to a menu. A built-in template is used to render browse-based reports.
