Adding Fields to Report Form

Your report can include database fields, variables, calculated values, and calculated fields. When you created the report, the form contains the output fields selected. However, if there are too many fields for the width of the report, you may have to add them manually. Also, if you edit the report and add another field, you may have to add it manually as well.

To add a field to the report form manually:

2.  Select the query used for the report and click Report.

3.  Click Run Report.

5.  Close the spreadsheet view.

6.  Click Edit Form.
