The system and custom reports are stored in the Jim2 database, and are accessed via Report Explorer (Tools > Report Designer on the Jim2 ribbon) in their respective folders. When a report is made active via Report Designer, it is available within Jim2 objects and functions.
The security level of reports set via Report Designer will ensure only specific users can have access to sensitive reports.

1.On the ribbon, go to Tools > Report Designer. The Report Explorer screen will open.
2.The subject folders are shown in a tree format. By expanding the root subject (click the 
beside each subject), the available reports will show as sub-headings, and the contents of those folders will be listed in the contents screen once the folder has been expanded (using the

Because Report Designer is a complete application in itself, it can be opened from outside Jim2. If Report Designer is opened from a different source (for example, drive C:), a logon screen similar to the Jim2 Logon will appear. Use the same username and password as for Jim2 to access Report Designer, provided the correct security settings have been applied. |
