Using the report viewer

Report output is displayed in the Report Viewer, which contains one or more reports. You can use the Actions > Print button on the viewer to print the entire visible contents of the report viewer. If a report has a drilldown link, use Actions > Print Details to print the visible report and the linked drilldown report.

Report container menu

Each report is displayed in a container, which includes a toolbar that allows you to perform different actions on the report output.

Note that when you create dashboards, each report in the dashboard has these menu elements in its title bar. To create a cleaner looking dashboard, you can suppress the elements when you configure the dashboard by setting Display Report Menus = No. See Specifying the basic dashboard details.
