	An important component in ROB is formed by more than a dozen reports. For the most 
	 important Designer Element Types, ROB provides reports with all the relevant details
	 of selected objects. These reports are particularly useful to less skilled Designer
	 users, for example acceptance testers, QA staff, or application end-users. <BR>The
	 reports are accessible from the Repository Reports section {ssreports.gif, ALT="Repository reports"}, but
	 also through object hyperlinks in the Repository Navigator tool, the Repository
	 Object Browser and the Repository Search Facility. <BR><BR>The basic way of working
	 is as follows:<BR><B>1. Choose a context Workarea or Configuration</B><BR>Use the
	 drop down list for this. This list only shows the workareas and configurations that
	 you have access to.<BR><B>2. Choose an Element Type</B><BR>There is also an element type for uploaded files.<BR><B>
	 3. Now a list of elements of the requested type in this workarea/configuration is shown</B><BR>This
	 list can be ordered on name or date modified.<BR><B>4. Pick the element you are
	 looking for and click on the name to start the report</B><BR>On top of the report
	 you have hyperlinks to jump to different sections within the report. In the report
	 itself there are  a number of hyperlinks that allow you to navigate to reports of
	 other objects. Reports can also contain graphics that may link you to other reports,
	 images or somewhere on the internet or intranet.
