Select a report in the

Depending on whether the selected report is "simple" or "advanced", you may do one of the following:
- Simple report: You can modify the selection criteria-and thus changing the results of the selected report-or you can click
the
Advanced Query button to modify the SQL query code.
- Advanced report: If you have familiarity with SQL, you may edit the query code in the
Report data query field. To assist you in editing SQL queries, a list of function placeholders (i.e., "variables") is available. To insert
one of the available pre-defined functions, select the corresponding placeholder from the
Insert placeholder list.
Note: If you manually edit the SQL code for the query, it is recommended that, once complete, you click the
Check SQL button to confirm your work.
See
Creating New Reports for detailed information about selection criteria and modifying SQL queries.

Finish to save your settings.
