Save As Dialog Box Properties

You can use the Save As dialog box to save a report as a new file or as a new version. This topic describes the options in the dialog box.

Save In

Specifies the directory in the server resource tree where you want to save the report. Use the button to go to the parent folder. The root folder cannot save resources.

The resource table shows the resources in the current directory. You can select the column names to change the order of the report in the table list.

• Name
  Displays the file names.
• Size
  Displays the file size.
• Type
  Displays the file type.
• Last Modified
  Displays the last modified time of the file.

File Name

Specifies the name for the saved report, without suffix.

Type

Specifies the type of the saved report.

By default, page report files contain a .cls suffix. This is the format that provides optimal performance in the Logi Report toolset. You can also store page report files in the following formats:

• Page Report (*.cls)
  Saves the report as a binary formatting file.
• Report Template (.rpt)
  It is a file in text format, which you can edit in any text editor.
• Self Contained Page Report (.clx)
  It is a binary report file, which contains not only the report's layout but also the catalog with its own resources.
• Page Report XML Format (.cls.xml)
  It follows the XML standard, which you can edit with both Logi Report Designer and external XML editors. You cannot save page reports that contain customized user defined objects (UDO) to XML format. Using the XML format is better for checking into source code control systems than using the binary formats.

Advanced/Simple

Displays the following settings or hides them.

• Catalog
  Shows the catalog that the report uses.

  Server displays the following two options when you have not selected Select Catalog Linking Model in the Page Report Studio profile.

  • Set Original Catalog as Linked Catalog into Saved Report
    If you select the option, Server will link the saved report with the catalog and the saved report will run with the catalog no matter whether the two are in the same directory. If later you update the catalog, the saved report will run with the latest version of the catalog.
  • Set Catalog Copy to Target Folder
    If you select the option, Server will copy the catalog to the directory where you save the report and the saved report will run with the copied catalog.
• Save Sort Criteria
  Specifies whether to save the changes made by sorting.
• Save Filter Criteria
  Specifies whether to save the changes made by filtering.

• Description
  Provides a description for the saved report.

OK

Saves the report with the specified settings and closes this dialog box.

Cancel

Does not save the report as a new file and closes the dialog box.

Help

Displays the help document about this feature.
