Quick report creation: Building a new report

This chapter provides steps to create a new report using the MicroStrategy Report Builder tool. The Report Builder is meant for users who are already familiar with MicroStrategy objects that are used to create a report, and who need to create a report quickly. However, the Report Builder tool limits you to only adding certain objects to the report while you are using the tool. Once you finish creating a report in Report Builder, you can continue to modify the report in the Report Editor and add additional objects.

If you have Web Professional privileges, before you create a report, you can create links, or shortcuts, to objects that you will want to use regularly. You can place the shortcuts in a location within the project that is conveniently accessible to you. For steps to create shortcuts to objects, see Quick object access: Creating shortcuts to objects.
