Using the design view

The design view of Script Editor provides you with a comprehensive environment for creating reports. The graphical user interface enables you to create report scripts without any programming knowledge. In contrast to report scripts that you write in the code view of Script Editor, the design view enables you to collect and output information from databases.

The design view starts automatically if you enable the option Use report script template (design view) when creating a report script in the Script Wizard.

Reports that have been created in design view can be opened again and edited in this tool as long as the script code has not been edited in code view. In code view, you have access to methods that are not supported in design view.

On the Administration > Evaluations > Reports > Sample scripts tab the Report - Process manual report script is available to you as a sample.
