The Custom Report option is provided to cater for specific report requirements, e.g. custom page headers and footers. Custom reports are stored in files with RPT extensions. All *.RPT files can be deleted if not used. When selected, the report connects to the currently active WinPATS™ database. By using parameters a user can interactively select what is needed.

When selecting a custom report the user is shown the selection of parameter values. The number of parameters vary for different reports. Only parameters specified in the report must be specified. Our example requires 5 parameters. When selecting parameters select value(s) and Add. There are several ways to specify parameters.
