The first step in creating an Ad Hoc Report is to choose the data. There are two ways to choose data for a Report.
- Topics
- Domains
Both Topics and Domains are created by administrators for use by others to access data more conveniently. Topics contain predetermined fields that can be used directly in a report. Domains differ from Topics in that they give more flexibility in choosing fields from the database and allow some filtering of the data before it is included in a report. Domains also allow you create reports that prompt the reader for input that determines what data is presented.
To begin creating a report:
- Click on +Create from the home page.
OR
- On the top menu bar, click on Create then Ad Hoc View.
