User`s guide

Note:
• To reconnect a report object that has been disconnected from its repository, re-add the object or
update the repository copy. Objects that remain disconnected from the repository cannot be
automatically updated when the report is next opened.
•
You can see that a report object is connected to the repository by opening the Report Explorer
and looking for it; if the object has an icon in front of it, it is connected to the repository.
This section shows you how to add a bitmap image, a custom function, or a command to a new report.
It also shows you how to add a list of values to a parameter.
