Using Query Builder to Author Reports
Queries written and saved in the Query Builder utility are saved as report templates, which can then be run from the Report Management utility. You can also select the Expose As Report flag in the Properties tab of Query Builder, to expose the report template as a report object in Windchill. The next time the Reports table is refreshed, this new report object is included in the appropriate location.
Query Builder can also be used to create data sources for reports authored for use by Windchill Business Reporting.
