The main task of report panel is used to select a different report or template as current report. The reports are shown in a tree view in two different hierarchies:
- Reports by Menu: Reports are grouped by their menu, this view only shows reports that appear in the menu
- Reports by Template: Reports are grouped by their template, this view will contain all reports
There is also a Unpublished Reports Tab. This view contains all the reports that are not included in the menu. For a user that belongs to a user group which has only the Report Builder role, this tab is named "My Reports".
Besides selecting a new current report, the report panel can be used for other functionality like:
- Reports: 'Open', 'Copy', 'Rename', 'Place in Menu', 'About' and 'Delete'
- Menu items: 'Rename'
- Templates: 'Open', 'Rename','Copy' , 'Create new report', 'About', 'Edit Template' and 'Delete'
