Opening web reports

Web reports are reports created using the Report Builder. You can browse all of the web reports that are available to you and open them to view the report data. In order to open a web report, you must have at least read-only access to the report, as defined in Axiom Software security. Web Reports can be opened from either the Web Client or the Desktop ClientGeneral term for using either the Excel Client or the Windows Client, both of which are installed to the user's desktop..

This topic discusses the default way to access web reports. Your system may be designed so that you can open web reports in other ways, such as:

  • Using links within your home page or other files
  • Using links within a task pane or ribbon tab in the Desktop Client

You can open a web report from the Reports Library in the Desktop Client (Excel Client or Windows Client). You can differentiate web reports from other types of Axiom Software reports using the following icons:

  Web report
  Axiom form
  Spreadsheet Axiom file

To open a web report:

  1. On the Axiom tab, in the Reports group, click Reports to bring up the Reports menu.

    NOTE: If you are using an Axiom packaged product, this feature may be present on a different ribbon tab.

    TIP: You can also open reports from the Explorer task pane or Axiom Explorer.

  2. Use the Reports Library folders at the bottom of the menu to navigate to the specific web report that you want to open, and then click on it.

The web report opens in the Web Client using your default browser.
