The Report Viewer
The Report Viewer is opened automatically when you launch the Reporting module, or any other module that allows you to produce reports (Route Service, Publishing, etc.). By default, the Report Viewer is minimized to the bottom of the window until you click on the tab to view it.
Running Reports Tab
The Running Reports tab shows all reports currently being generated, either by the individual user or by the user group, depending on the option selected.
The user, report title, spool name and status are displayed. The status can be:
Started—The report has been initiated.
Processing—The report is currently being processed.
Completed—The report is complete.
Viewing—The report is complete and is being viewed in a browser window.
Canceled—The report has been canceled (by highlighting the report and clicking the Cancel Report button).
The other buttons in this window are the Cancel, Clear, and Process Status buttons:
Cancel Report—If you click Cancel Report, the Transaction Processing of the selected Report will be cancelled.
Clear—If you click Clear, all reports will be removed from this list. You cannot remove selected reports from the list.
Process Status—If you click Process Status during Transaction Processing, some information about the process will be displayed, such as what subscription and transaction is currently being processed and when the processing of that transaction started.
Completed Reports Tab
The Completed Reports tab lists reports that have been generated during your current session (i.e., since you launched the application), either by you or by all users in your group.
Options on this tab include:
Print—Allows you to print a report. Highlight a report to select it and click Print. The Printer Selection dialog box appears. Select a printer and enter the number of copies. Then click OK.

Deferred Reports Tab
The Deferred Reports tab shows all reports that have been deferred (by selecting deferred in the When field of the View/Print Options window). To generate a deferred report, double-click it.

The Saved Reports tab lists all reports that have been saved. Use this tab when you want to view, print, or rename a report that has been saved.
