Report Wizard can access all database items and standard
calculations. Although you can access all database items and
standard calculations, you cannot create new calculations or link
fields together with math functions by way of the Report Wizard.
However, Report Designer allows you to create new calculations
and link fields together with math functions for reports which you
create in the Report Wizard.
Report Wizard can create a report with charts and tables. With
the Report Wizard you will be able to create a report that contains
the following:
— one or two charts,
— one or two tables, or
— one chart and one table.
You will have to use the Report Designer to enter text or fields
containing one data item.
Report Wizard does not display queries and database table
names used to generate a report. If you need to see this type of
information, use Report Designer.
Report Wizard provides access to database item definitions.
While in the Select Data Items page of the Report Wizard, you will
be able to click on a database item or calculation, and then select
the Data Item Definition button to view the definition of the database
item or calculation which you highlighted.
