Running Reports

In the Siebel clients (Siebel Web Client, Siebel Mobile Web Client, and Siebel Developer Web Client), you run Siebel Reports in views. While in a view, you can perform a query, and then select the report you want to run. For more information, see Using Query to Locate Information.

You can monitor long-running reports, view previously run reports, and delete reports. For more information about the Siebel Reports user interface, see Siebel Reports Guide.

NOTE:  Reports functionality is an optional extension to Siebel Business Applications.
