You can customize an existing report to collect artifact
information you need and display it visually as a printed or PDF report.
Customize a report by giving it a descriptive name, adding a description,
and changing the identifier.
Before you begin
You can customize the output created by using the default
report, called sample. If the sample report
is not available, see your administrator.
About this task
This task shows how to customize a report created with
the default, tabular sample report. To create
a report with different output, such as bar charts and Gantt charts,
you need Rational® Publishing
Engine. Rational Publishing
Engine is not included with this tool; separate installation and license
are required. Contact your server administrator to verify that the
installation is completed and to determine the license server path
that you must use to connect to the license server. If you have not
already installed Rational Publishing
Engine, you or your administrator must install it and verify that
you can connect to the licensing server.
Procedure
- In the Reports page, on Report
Resources, hover over the sample report
and click the Edit icon on the right.
If
the sample report is not available on the Report
Resources page, see your administrator.
To edit
a report created from the sample template,
use the following steps.
To edit a report created from a custom Rational Publishing Engine
template, see Customizing document-style reports in
the Rational solution for
Collaborative Lifecycle Management product documentation.
- Change the report name to be more descriptive, if necessary.
- Enter or modify text in the Description field.
- Change the Identifier if the report requires an ID. Examples
of how identifiers are used are in "Creating a new report resource
from a custom report in the Report Resources list" in Making development intelligence reports available
to viewers.

report.
