The interface of the Reports component of Perspective is built around the specific type of report that is selected from the Navigation pane, and can be roughly divided into three parts:
1.Navigation pane: Allows you to select various preset reports from five general categories. Once selected, the name of the report will appear at the top of the Report System pane.
·Administrator Only: Reports that list groups of administrative hierarchies available in Perspective (e.g., Roles, Users, etc.).
·Detail Reports: Condensed summaries of individual records stored in Perspective.
·List: Reports that contain lists of records, assignments and losses.
·Lookups: Reports that list values available in various Perspective’s lookups.
·Summary Reports: Reports with a summary of data analysis; results are summarized in assorted bar and pie charts.
2.Report System pane: Assists in filtering data for future reports and executes their creation.
3.Report Settings toolbar: The invariable part of the Report System pane that provides options for refreshing the report settings view, generating reports in PDF, and opening previously run reports locally.
4.Report Settings pane: The variable part of the Report System pane that displays tabs, panes, and tools for specifying parameters for the data used in your report.
