From that point on, the program uses the saved data whenever you
preview the report unless you specifically refresh it or add a field that
requires the program to retrieve new data.

Standard view

In standard view, the report is displayed a page at a time. Using the navigation
buttons in the Preview tab, you can move to the beginning or end of the
report, or you can move backward and forward through the report one page
at a time. For shorter reports or reports in which you're primarily interested
in seeing the "bottom line" totals, the standard view provides all of the
functionality you need.

The Data Age indicator

The Data Age indicator indicates the date the data was last refreshed or
initially retrieved, whichever is the most recent. If the data was initially
retrieved or refreshed today, it indicates the time it happened.

Preview Panel

The Preview Panel houses the Group Tree, the Parameter Panel, and a
Find tab.
