Creating a report from a template

You can create a Jazz™ report from an installed template. Templates include the report design and typically have variables that you can modify to further customize the report. When you create a report you can share it or make it a personal report.

About this task

License note: To perform the task described here, you must be assigned the Developer Client Access License. Starting Rational Team Concert 2.0.0.1, Contributors can also deploy and manage report templates and create their own reports from those templates.
Tip: Report templates can be designed (using BIRT tools) and installed by any contributor with the appropriate permissions. The Jazz Team Reports component provides a set of pre-defined reports for key areas of the Jazz technology platform, depending on which components are currently installed in your product configuration.

To create a report:

What to do next

After you save the new report, you can access it in the My Reports or Shared Reports folder in the Jazz Web client Reports menu, run the report, and modify the report. You can also access the report in the My Reports or Shared Reports folder in the Eclipse client.
