ProReports Wiki | PmWiki / Defining datasets

For defined in system reports was created possibility to save so called Datasets which allow for introductory filling form with earlier defined values (before generating report). Process of generating a report runs as follows: before form linked with report is shown, list on available datasets is presented.
