file contains a parameter named "ROKEY", will you find the
item in the context menu of
associated object type(s).
From the page. The Report Templates page displays the list of report templates on CentraSite. Click the icon to the right of the report template that you want to use for report generation. At the prompt, enter values for the required parameters.
From the item in the context menu of a report template.
Using the Report Template details page. The Report Template details page displays basic attributes of the report template you want to use for report generation. Click the item from menu to the right of the details page. At the prompt, enter values for the required parameters.
CentraSite Control generates report using the BIRT reporting engine and displays the generated report as a new task window BIRT Report Viewer.

| Select this icon to... | Description |

Print and save the report with data on a local system folder. Note that the BIRT Report Viewer does not have a icon available for you to save a report to a PDF file.

Print and save the report with data in the CentraSite registry/repository. |
