System Reports versus User-Defined Reports

CA Clarity PPM reports are Crystal Reports objects that must be deployed on the Business Objects report server.

A system report is any CA Clarity PPM stock report. You can only reorder parameters in system reports. Otherwise the properties of system reports cannot be modified. You can run the stock reports as designed.

Note: See the Common Features and Personal Options User Guide for more information.

A user-defined report is any report you customize from a stock report or create from scratch. The properties of user-defined reports can be modified.

To create a new report from scratch, you must use the Business Objects Crystal Reports Designer client. You must have a license to create new reports, which you can obtain from Business Objects. Refer to the Business Objects documentation for steps on creating new reports.
