XRef

Report Miner XRef (Table Cross-reference) provides a an Excel style cross-reference of your reports to the tables they utilize in preparing the reports (including sub-reports). The cross reference shows:

  • Report file name
  • Report title
  • Sub-report name, if any
  • Table reference, with full qualifications
  • Record selection formula

This Table Cross-reference lets you quickly review your reports. The information can be ordered (sorted) by any of the fields, providing listing by table, by report title, etc. This cross-reference can also be copied to the clipboard for use with other applications, such as Excel.
