About reports and charts (Windows)

In the Rational® ClearQuest® client on Windows® systems, you can have reports and charts:

• Reports compile information from a Rational ClearQuest user database and generate the information in human-readable format. Associated with a report is a query and a report format. Typically, a project manager creates a report format and saves it in the Rational ClearQuest user database for use with queries. To use a report, you select a report format and a query to plug in to the report format. Accessed under Workspace in the Rational ClearQuest client, reports can be run at any time.
• Charts are the means to graphically view and analyze data from a Rational ClearQuest user database. Typically, a project manager uses the chart wizard to define one of the following types of charts: distribution, trend, or aging. You can filter a chart with the Query editor. You can display a chart in either pie, bar, stacked bar, area, or line format. You cannot edit query records returned while you are creating a chart.
