Printing a report often means printing a single table or graph. In QlikView this is done as easily as selecting a sheet object and then choosing Print from a menu or toolbar. Sometimes however, there is a need for producing more complex reports including multiple charts and/or tables. This is where the QlikView Report Editor comes into the picture. The QlikView Report Editor offers the possibility to group a number of different sheet objects together on one or more pages with full control of page layout, including headers/footers etc.
QlikView reports come in two flavors, document reports and user reports.
| Report Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Document Reports |
Created with the QlikView document and stored as part of the QlikView document file (QVF or QVW). Any user accessing the QlikView document locally or via QlikView Server can access the document reports in the document. |
| User Reports | Created by a user working with a document from QlikView Server. The report is stored on the local client machine in a manner similar to that of user bookmarks. Only the local user has access to his/her own user reports. User reports can only be created from the Windows based QlikView clients (that is, not from AJAX clients). |
| My Server Reports | Only available when working with a document on QlikView Server and only to authenticated users. They are stored in a repository on the server and are accessible to the user from any computer where authenticated. |
| Shared Server Reports | Only available when working with a document on QlikView Server and only to authenticated users. Any user who has created a personal server report may flag this as shared to other users. It will then become available to other users. Just like My Server Reports, shared server reports are stored in a repository on the server. |
