Reports Table

The Reports table lists the reports available for use in the current context, including the predefined reports that were installed with your Windchill solution, and any custom reports created at your site. A report can be created at the site or organization level, and made available for use in ‘lower’ contexts, such as projects, products, or from the individual user’s Home

page. If a report is made available in more than one context, then the report output may differ, depending on the context from which the report is run.

The Reports table is available from multiple locations within Windchill, including Products

, Projects

, Programs

, Changes

, Libraries

, Organizations

, Site

, and Home

To view the Reports table from your Home

page, select Reports from the Customize menu.

The predefined reports are grouped into folders by functional area. Expand a folder to view the reports within. For each report, the Reports table displays the following information:

Column	Description
Name	The name of the report in the originally authored language. Click the report name to view the report.
Localized Name	The localized name of the report, based on your browser locale setting. This attribute only displays for non-English locales.
Description	A description of the report.
Context	The context in which the report was created.
Ready For Use	Indicates whether the report is ready for use. If this flag is not set, then the report is only visible to users with modify permissions for the report.
Reporting System	The reporting engine used to render the given report. For example, JasperReports indicates that the report is rendered using Jasper library.

The columns displayed in the table depend on the view selected from the table view drop-down list. For more information about customizing views, as well as other information about tables, see Using Tables.
