The Accredo Report Designer can be used to design reports and documents or edit existing reports and documents. When you select a designer, a Design Window opens. To design the report, place components in the Design Window, then apply properties to the components to control their behaviour.

Report Designer is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) graphical design system. This means you can see how your reports and documents will look as you design them.

To run custom reports you must have Report Designer installed.

Custom reports designed in Report Designer can be run from Navigator > Reports > Custom Reports > Custom Report.

From the Design Window you can:

• Write SQL queries to extract Accredo data.
• Place components in the Design Window to determine layout.
• Set properties for components to determine behaviour.

To design a Custom Report or Document:

1. For Custom Reports, select or develop an SQL Query using the Edit Query button before you design a report.

   For Documents, it is recommended you open an existing document. Save the document with a new name.

2. Reports and Documents are made up of Bands laid on the page in a sequence determined by the Band type. Setup report Bands, see Report Designer Band Selection.
3. Components are placed in Bands, and then properties are applied to the components. See Report Designer Components and Design Window.

An infinite number of script arguments may be passed into the report on Run.

In the report code arguments are accessed using the ScriptArgs function.
