Adding Items to a Report

Reports are ideal document containers for other Statistica  documents and objects from other software programs.

When adding items to a report,  the item does not have to be open, and you manually do not have to open the report. You must, however, have either a report or an appropriate Statistica document (such as a spreadsheet, graph, or macro) open in order to access the options described here.

When a report is active, you can add documents and objects to it using the commands on the report Insert menu or the report shortcut menu).

Note: When an auto-updating graph is embedded in a report, select the graph and double-click on it in order to reflect changes in data.
