Creating a Script to Run with a Report

Scripting allows you to insert scripts into a report and execute them when the report is previewed, printed or exported. Script commands should be placed within the event handlers of the report objects. When the corresponding event occurs (for example, a mouse click), the script code runs.

Script languages supported include C#, Visual Basic and J#.

1.	In My Reports, select the report, then click Edit report.
