FIRST THINGS FIRST
What is the purpose of the report/query? What data needs to be returned? What is the criteria, or filter, to be used,
if any? What fields will be used in the results? How will the data be sorted, if at all? Has a similar report already been
created?

REPORT ACTIONS
Delete : Deletes the report and all associated custom user views of the report
Permissions : Launches the permissions dialog allowing you to modify which principals have what type of access to the report
Lock / Unlock : Locking a report prevents other users from modifying the base report. In this way you can protect the integrity of the base report select statement, sorts, groups, etc. Users are free to customize the report, but they cannot change the base defaults.
Live Excel : Creates and makes available for download a Live Excel Spreadsheet.
Copy : Creates a copy of the report and redirects you to the newly created report.
