Generate Report Button
1 Introduction
You can set a report grid to automatically generate the report when the page is loaded. However, if a report page has parameter widgets, you must also add a Generate report button widget so that the end-user can regenerate the report after specifying the parameter(s).
The reports are generated when the end-user clicks the generate report button.
