To use the Report control to view reports you must first embed it in a Web Application and configure its properties. After this, you can view the Report Filter in a browser to select and view reports.

To configure the Report control properties

1.  Drag the Report control from the Toolbox onto the Web Form’s Designer surface.

2.  In the Properties window, select the application name in the ApplicationName property drop down.

3.  Set the CanControlWorkflow property to Yes if you want the Workflow control function enabled.

4.  In the DefaultApplication property, select the Yes option to make this application the default application.

5.  In the DisplayApplicationName property, select the Yes option to display the Application name in the Report View.

6.  In the DisplayWorkflowName property, select the Yes option to display the Workflow name in the Report View.

Note By default the Report View screen shows the Application name and the Workflow name. You can select No in the previous two steps to stop them from being displayed.

7.  Specify the time period from which you want to include workflows in the report in the RecentlyExecutedTimeDuration field.

You can enter the value in DD.HH:MM:SS format. The time entered will be the number of days/hours/minutes/seconds preceding the time when the report is being configured. So, if n.00:00:00 was the value entered, all the workflows in the preceding n days will be included in the report.

8.  In the WorkflowAssignedtoResources property, select the Yes option to display only the workflows assigned to the resource.

9.  In the WorkflowNames property, select the workflow names to view reports for.

10. In the WorkflowSpecifictoResources property, select the Yes option to display only the workflows specific to the resource i.e. only the workflows assigned to or submitted by a resource will be displayed in the report.

11. In the WorkflowSubmittedbyResource property, select the Yes option to display only the workflows submitted by the resource.

12. After specifying the properties, browse to the Web Form in which the Report control is embedded.

This displays the Report Filter screen.
