Use the Report Configuration Dialog Box
This table describes the fields in the Report Configuration dialog box:
Description Field Group Tab
Specify the name of the report that you want to appear in the Report
Explorer
and in the tab title. You can also use this field to create
logical folders. A logical folder is a subdivision of a report folder. To
save the report to a logical folder within the report folder, append
the @ character to the name. For example, this name saves the “Query
56” report to a logical folder called “August Reports.”
August Reports@Query 56
You can also nest a logical folder within a logical folder. This name
saves the “Query 56” report to a logical folder called “Prod Reports”
that is nested under the “August Reports” folder:
August Reports@Prod Reports@Query 56
NOTE: Logical folders are not reflected in the tab title for a report.
