The Report Editor is a program for creating and editing reports. The program uses StimulReport.Net components for designing the reports. You can find accurate descriptions and the functionality of individual components in the Stimulsoft online help (www.stimulsoft.com).
NOTE: When you start the Report Editor for the first time, you can select the configuration type (basic, default or professional) for the report. The configuration type determines the range of properties displayed when editing a report. You can change the configuration type later in the edit view using the context menu in the property view.
NOTE: Reports with changes in historical data analyze changes made to data in a One Identity Manager History Database. If the One Identity Manager History Database is linked by an ID to the database’s TimeTrace, you must log in to the Report Editor through an application server that has this ID in its configuration file (web.config). For more information about connecting to the One Identity Manager History Database through an application server and the required configuration, see the One Identity Manager Data Archiving Administration Guide.
The Report Editor has several views for editing reports.
