A Query is the base for most all Query, Report and Dashboard functions within Aeros Vision. In order to create a Report, you must have first created the Query for the Report. In order to create a Dashboard, you also must have first created a Query that the Dashboard will run to display the data.
You can create a query that performs many of the necessary functions to extract data from your systems. You may see throughout the functions of the Query tools, there may be no need to create a "printable" Report; just simply use the Query functions to produce a Grid that displays all the necessary information.
