DB2 graphic QMF Version 8

Working with reports and objects

Reports are based on queries and forms, and contain certain formatting and output specifications. Reports that are contained in your Favorites folder point to objects that reside on the server.

All items in your Favorites folder and in the Public Favorites folders on each server are considered reports. You can manipulate formatting and display options for reports.

You do not modify a QMF object. Instead, you modify its link. Because reports are based on objects, properties of objects also apply to reports.

You can create reports from objects that reside on a server, but they are not saved to the server. This allows you to create one-time, ad hoc reports. After creating a report from objects on a server, you can save the report to your Favorites folders.
