Eclipse Reports provides a wizard to walk you through creating report templates. The system saves the template you create so you can run the report when needed. By creating templates you can repeat or rerun a report without having to define parameters each time. You can grant access for other users to templates and reports.
Important: We recommend opening Eclipse Reports through the Solar application. If you do not, the system uses a separate license to run Eclipse Reports.
You can begin creating reports without any setup in the system. You do not need to know control maintenance records, system file structures, or dictionary items to build a report. In addition, you do not need to understand how to select data from the Eclipse database.
We recommend running one larger or all-encompassing report before applying filters. By applying post-filters, instead of creating pre-filters at the time of report creation the system manages the data more quickly and lets you view the report results faster. For more information about creating and applying filters, see Creating and Applying Report Filters.
Note: Restrictions to specific data may apply. For more information, see Restricting Access to Report Data.
