Sample reports are provided in <bf-install>/samples/reports/.
The files have the extension .rptdesign.
To run sample reports:
- Copy the sample reports to the public directory. By default
the location is <bf-install>/Apache/tomcat/reports/public/reports.
- Refresh the Reports page (or start the console,
then click the Reports tab, then click Quick
Report). The sample reports appear in the Select a report list
in the Public folder.
- Select a report design, then click Edit. You can
edit the report design at this time (using the tabs) or just save it.
- Click the Run tab.
- Provide a name (if you want it to be different), then click Save.
- Follow the directions for running an existing report. The
sample report you saved appears in the My Reports folder.
Important: the report design must be edited and saved as a report before
it can be run. If you attempt to run a report design without doing so, database
connection error messages are displayed.
