One way to create a report is to apply an existing query
to an existing report format and then running the report.
Before you begin
To generate a report, you must have a report format for
the record type that you want to report against. Rational® ClearQuest® software
includes predefined reports and report formats. To modify an existing
report format or to create your own, you must download and install
the required Crystal Reports Report Design Component (RDC). The Crystal
Reports RDC is available to licensed IBM Rational ClearQuest users
from the Business Objects Web site at http://www.businessobjects.com/ibmrational.
Also,
you cannot use backslashes (\) or forward slashes (/) in a report
name.
