Reports command

Use the Reports command to allow users to open and create reports. The command can open the All Reports dialog or display the full Reports menu (which includes options to create reports for users with the appropriate permissions).

Can be used in

• Ribbon tabs
• Task panes

This command is included in the default AxiomMain.AXL ribbon tab.

When the Reports command is selected from the Command Library as the shortcut target, it displays as command://Reports or command://ReportsCommandAdapter (legacy syntax).

Shortcut parameters

This command uses a single parameter of Mode. The selected mode determines the behavior of the command:

Mode	Description
Menu	Displays the Reports menu, as defined by the default Axiom ribbon tab. This option is selected by default.
All Reports	Opens the All Reports dialog. This is the same as selecting Reports > All Reports.

Visibility

Items using this command are visible as long as the user has any access to the Reports Library. If the user does not have access, they are hidden.

You can use the Show restricted items option in the task pane or the ribbon tab to force items that use this command to be visible at all times (but grayed out if unavailable).

Remarks

If you want to display some of the individual items of the Reports menu in a custom ribbon tab or task pane, you can use the following commands and shortcuts:

• Use the Create New Report command to allow users to create a new report file using the Report Wizard or a template, or to create a new form-enabled report, or to create a new Data Explorer.
• Use the Cache Management command to allow users to refresh the file system.
• Use a shortcut to the Reports Library to display the contents of the Reports Library. You can enable Display child items inline if you want to display the subfolders directly (like in the default Reports menu) rather than underneath the parent folder.
