Configuring ReportsYou can configure the default reports or create your own from them by selecting 'New' and then configuring the new report. When you select 'Configure' you will be presented with the Report Tab. Initially, it is named the same as the old report with “(Customized)” added to the end. You can change the name to whatever you want. You can even name your custom reports the same as a default report, or the same as another custom report. Also, you can always use the Comment field to further distinguish reports.
The Report Configuration dialog has a number of tabs across the top. Each tab displays options for configuring different aspects of the report.
