Creating a Subreport

You can create multiple subreports and link them to a custom report. For example, you might create a custom work orders report that includes a subreport for work requests.

The Report Designer uses the APM Forms Editor for designing the layout and properties of a report.

To create subreports you must launch APM with the administrator privilege.

This topic explains how to create subreports.

To Create a Subreport

1.	From the Enterprise, select the Customization Center view, Reports tab, and then the Custom tab.

2.	Make sure that editing is enabled.

3.	Click New Custom Report. The New Report dialog appears.

4.	Select a Class name from the list.

5.	In the Type of custom report section, select Create a new report from scratch and click OK. The Report Definition window appears.

6.	Enter a report name and report ID.

7.	Select Subreport.

8.	In the Primary relationship field, click the browse icon. In the Relationship Selector dialog, select the relationship for this subreport and click OK.

9.	Save the report and then click Edit Layout to open the APM Forms Editor.

10.	In the Join path panel, expand the node for the relationship chosen in step 8 and select the relationship. The attributes in the Toolbox panel now reflect valid attributes for that relationship.

Tip: If the Join Path panel does not appear on the APM Forms Editor workspace, you can select it from the View menu, or you can select Reset Window Layout from the Window menu and confirm that you want to restore the default window layout for the environment.

11.	From the Toolbox panel, Attributes tab, drag the attributes you want in the report into the Report Detail band.

12.	Repeat steps 10 and 11 for each attribute to be included in the report.

13.	Save the report and close the APM Forms Editor.
