The Report Viewer control serves as a comprehensive tool for visualizing Reports within a Page. It encompasses a wide array of settings available both during the design phase and when the Page is actively running.

Run Time Actions
The runtime view of the Report Viewer control offers a range of actions for enhanced management of reports. These actions encompass filtering, searching, saving, exporting, and editing functionalities; each action is listed in the table below.
Additionally, within the Report Viewer, a variety of filtering options are available. Users can effectively group, sort, and manipulate data using the Report Designer configurations and additional runtime methods. This dynamic configuration capability empowers users to perform data filtration on the fly without the necessity of accessing the Report via the Report Designer.
Any Report has the option to be downloaded as either an Excel or PDF file. Every default Page view is comprised of a Report, meaning that when the user selects a Designer Folder and it defaults to the LIST Page, the Designer View is a Report of the objects in the Folder.
Save Report Definition
Save the Report in its modified state during runtime, which includes any changes such as rearranging columns or adjusting grouping. There are multiple ways to save the Report using this feature:
Override Current Definition: This option replaces the existing Report with the modified version, effectively updating the original Report.
Save As (shared): A fresh copy of the modified Report is saved in the same Folder as the original Report, making it available to others who have access to that Folder.
Save As (My Copy): Creates a new copy of the altered Report and saves it in the My Documents Folder of the current user, providing a personalized version for individual use.
Edit Report
Opens the Report in the Report Designer, allowing modifications to the original version of the Report.
