Profiles

A report can have a number of profiles associated with it. Each profile can modify the report by having different:

• Sort orders

• Selection criteria

• Grouping fields

This enables you to use one report layout for several different styles of report output. When the report is run, the user selects the profile that is required.

New reports are created with a default profile. New profiles can then be created and defined. The default profile is used when no profile is explicitly set.

For details, see "Customizing Reports", later in this chapter, and Chapter 4, "Designing JADE Reports".
