Saving the Report Definition

When you save a report definition, Report Builder saves it to a report library. If you have already opened a report library, Report Builder saves the report definition there by default. If you have not already opened a library, Report Builder prompts you to open or create one. If you have already opened a library, you can save the report into that library or another one.

Follow these steps to save the completed report layout:

  1. Choose Report Save or the Save button. The Open Report Library dialog box appears:
  2. Specify the Tutorial.prl report library, then choose OK to accept the report library name. The Save As dialog box appears:
  3. The report library name, TUTORIAL.PRL appears at the top of the dialog box. Notice that there are already several report definitions in Tutorial.prl, including Accounts Receivable Sample. These are the report definitions for all the sample reports in this tutorial.

  4. In the Save Report Name field, type Accounts Receivable Sample. The report name can consist of any characters except commas and can contain up to 32 characters.
  5. Choose OK. Report Builder saves the report definition as “Accounts Receivable Sample” in the Tutorial.prl library and returns to the report layout window.
