Ad Hoc Editor

Once the Data has been selected (either through a Topic or Domain), you are ready to create the actual report. There are four main areas of the Ad Hoc Editor:

• The Tool Bar
• Available Fields
• Report Type Tabs
• Report Area

Basic Design

• When the Editor is first opened, the Report area is empty and all of the available fields are listed. The default report type is to Crosstab. 
• Switch to a different Report Type at any time by click on the drop down box for report type on the toolbar. 

Tip: It is best to figure out which report type you would like to build before adding columns.

• Choose which fields to use in the report by double clicking the field or dragging and dropping it into the Columns or Rows field.
• Add the filters you would like to add to the report by right clicking on the field and select "Create Filter". Make sure to click on Apply to update the report based on the filter. 
• Use the Toolbar to edit or save the report.
