To select the simulation data generated during simulation in the Manager in a report, use the following query modules:
-
Front-end simulation resultYou can apply this query module to all parts of a simulation excluding rule violation analysis.
-
Front-end simulation result for complianceYou can apply this query module to publish the rule violation analysis in the report.

A report can contain several parameters that are determined when the report is created or when an email notification is generated and passed to the report. The generated report is then displayed or send by email to the subscriber corresponding to the report subscription set up. The user can query the report parameters before the report is displayed. This means, you can, for example, limit the time period or pass specific departments for displaying the report.
Report parameters are grouped internally into parameter sets. A separate parameter set is automatically created for very report, every subscribable report, and every report subscription. The parameters and their settings are passed down in the sequence report->subscribable report->report subscriptions.

You can configure report parameters at several places.
Parameters for reports
Define the report parameters to use when you create the report in the Report Editor. This is where you specify which report parameters are viewable or writable and which are already predefined in a subscribable report.
Parameters for subscribable reports
When you add a subscribable report viewable parameters are displayed in the Manager. You can make further changes to these report parameters assuming they can be overwritten. That means, you specify which report parameters can be viewed or overwritten by Web Portal users and define parameter values.
Parameters for report subscriptions
Report parameters labeled as viewable and editable in subscribable reports, are shown to Web Portal users when they are setting up their personal report subscriptions. If the report parameters are editable, Web Portal users can modify the values in them.
NOTE: In the report, you must define all the report parameters that users can apply. For example, when the report is displayed, when subscribable reports are generated in the Manager, or in Web Portal report subscriptions.
