What is a Report on SQL Query?

This wizard enables you to build an HTML based report about specific objects stored in your Knowledge Base through an SQL query.

This can be done either manually (creating the queries and headers yourself) or using a pre-defined template (templates are shipped by CAST and can be found in the HSQ folder in the CAST installation directory).

If you choose the manual method, you can save your query to file for reuse at a later date.
