How To Request Reports

A report submission page enables a user to choose the desired report and enter the parameter values for the report
The user must be granted security access to the report
The request is passed to the reporting tool real time. Refer to Configure The System to Invoke BI Publisher for more information.
The reporting tool generates the report and displays it in a new browser window
The reporting tools' scheduler creates reports (as per your schedule). This function is entirely within the reporting tool. No scheduling functions reside within your product.
A user can request an ad-hoc report from within the reporting tool. Note, the user's ID must be supplied as a parameter to the report in order for the user's profile to be used to format dates and numbers
