Saving a report
Many of the tasks you can perform in Interactive Viewer, such as sorting data, using conditional formatting, creating aggregate rows, and inserting computed columns, are similar to tasks a report developer performs in the report design environment. Sometimes you need to modify the report and save it, so you can use it later, or make it available for other users to view and modify.
In Interactive Viewer, you can save a modified report as a report design or a report document file. To enable users to open the modified report in BIRT Report Studio, or BIRT Report Designer, and to provide them with the ability to modify the report extensively, save the report as a report design (.rptdesign) file. To enable users to open the modified report in the viewers, and to limit the extent of the changes they can make to the report, save the report as a report document (.rptdocument) file. You cannot open a report document file using BIRT Report Studio or BIRT Report Designer. The following section describes how to save a report using Interactive Viewer.
