About reports

There are two report categories: the built-in reports that you access from the Performance and Queries panels and the reports that you create using the Quick Report tool.
To get started, click the Reports tab in the upper-right corner to display choices for reporting:

Performance and Queries panels

The Performance panel uses Build Forge data to create several standard reports. When you open a performance report, results are updated automatically so that you are always looking at current data.

The Performance panel also has a Queries panel that includes predefined query reports. To run these reports, provide the required data, and then click the Quick Start Quick Start icon icon. Query reports are run against current data. Simply rerun a report to see results based on the latest data.

The reports in the Performance and Queries panels cannot be modified. By design, you cannot modify fields or change the report presentation.

Quick Report tool

Quick Report is a reporting tool based on BIRT, an Eclipse-based open source reporting system. With Quick Report, you can create your own reports designs. You can use a provided report type as a starting point, and then choose the report fields that you want. All report types use data in the Rational Build Forge database as their data source.

For any report that you design in Quick Report, you can choose from several report formats, such as tables or charts. Also, you can use grouping and filtering functions to control report presentation.
