> #### Report Edit page

> The Report Edit page is divided into three sections. While the content of each section varies by report type, certain fields appear on all Report Edit pages:

> - The top section:
> - Name — The name you assign to your report instance.
> - Description — A brief description of the report instance.
> - Output Formats — The format in which you want the report output to appear. See the "Viewing report output" section for output format examples.
> - Report Format — The format (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly) into which the report's data is arranged.
> - The middle section:
> - Report on daily information — Indicates that each day covered by the report period will have its own column in the output.
> - Report Period — Whether the report instance will cover a previous number of hours, days, weeks, or months or a specific period of days, weeks, or months.
> - Time Period within the day to include in the report — Whether the report instance should cover a full day (24 hours) or a partial day.
> - Display Units — The units in which the data is presented. Options are per second, per minute, per hour, per transaction, per record, or as raw data.
> - The bottom section:
> - Environment — Any environment variables. Available environment variables depend on the type of report you are creating and your environment. For a list of environment variables available for your report, run the report with the Generate debug log file option on. The debug log file lists all environment variables and, if applicable, their values. For more information about viewing environment variables in the debug log file, see the entry below for Generate debug log file.
> If the report's output will appear in HTML, you may want to set the GRAPH1COLUMNS or the fathomResourcesPerGraph variables. See the "Graphical output environment variables" section for more information on these two variables.

> - Account Information — The user name, group, and password (if you want to run the report as a user other than the AdminServer).
> - Working Directory — The Fathom working directory (if you do not want to use the default working directory).
> - 4GL Client Parameters — Any additional client startup parameters.
> - Generate debug log file — Indicates whether Fathom will create a trace file when it executes the report instance. Select the check box if you want to create debug log files; otherwise, leave the check box cleared. Creating a debug log file allows you to examine the report's environment variables. When viewing the debug log file, lines beginning with env show the names and values of applicable environment variables, as shown in the following figure:

> For a detailed explanation about environment variables, see the chapter on jobs in the Resource Monitoring Guide.
