Running Reports On Your Research in Motion BlackBerry
You can have reports appear on your mobile device under Recently run reports by doing any of the following:
· browsing to a report and then running it
· setting criteria to search for a report, choosing a report from the resulting list, and then running that report
· running a report to see a newer version
Tips:
· Reports that you have not viewed have a dark border around them.
· The circled number on the recently run reports tab is the number of unread reports.
