Preview Page

The Preview page allows you to view a print preview of your report with the parameters and login information you have specified, and to test the printing and exporting options you have selected. This feature can be used to verify that you have provided the correct settings.

Preview

Click the Preview button to display a print preview of your report, using the parameter values and login credentials you have specified.

If you have correctly configured the parameters and database logins for the report, the Preview window will not prompt you for any information.

If the Preview window prompts you for parameter values or login information, you have not provided Report Commander all of the necessary information, and the report will fail to process when you run your execution command.

Execute

Click the Execute button to process your report using the settings you have specified. This will process the report exactly as if you were running your execution command from the command line: it will print, export, and e-mail the report, based on your settings.

This option is meant for testing your settings. For regular execution of your report, you will run the Command Runner using the command line shown on the Command Line page.
