Generating a Report
Use the following procedure to generate a report.
To generate a report
1. In CentraSite Control, you can generate reports in the following ways:
*From an object's context menu. (For assets, you can also choose the Generate Report item from the Actions menu.)
Note:  
Be aware that only if the rptdesign template file contains a parameter named "ROKEY", will you find the Generate Report item in the context menu of associated object type(s).
*From the Reports > Report Templates page. The Report Templates page displays the list of report templates on CentraSite. Click the Generate Report 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 Generate Report 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 Generate Report item from Actions menu to the right of the details page. At the prompt, enter values for the required parameters.
