Reports

Reports consist of data. The Report Data Web Service retrieves the data for a report or the pages of a report.

Reports have attributes; a set of fields defines these attributes. The Report List Web Service selects a series of reports and retrieves the values for selected report attributes.

Note: For more information about the attributes of the Report List Web Service, see the Customizing the Report List Web Service.

Every report has a unique report handle attribute assigned to reference it. If the repository supports indexes, an extra report handle references those pages that are associated with an indexed value. The Report List Web Service and Index List Web Service retrieve a unique report handle for every report in a repository. These handles are then used to access the reports in the Report Data Web Service.
