TIP
Save parameters of commonly used reports into
templates, to avoid manually specifying them each
time the report is required.
The order and field list as well as the Report Header, Sort by and Break by can be saved for later
use as a template for similar reports. A new template can be saved by simply selecting the fields,
writing a template name in the New field at the template section and clicking on the Modify button.
A template can be deleted by selecting it from the list and clicking on the Delete button.
