Introducing the Report Manager user interface

Report Manager is a Web-enabled application. This means that you do not need to install any special software on your desktop to use Report Manager. Instead, the application opens in a browser.

Because Report Manager is Web-enabled, you can access it from almost any location that is connected to the World Wide Web as long as you can access your Report Manager server.

Info

...

Although Report Manager opens in a browser window it is important to understand that it is an application rather than a Web site. To perform activities within Report Manager, use the Report Manager controls, not your browser controls. Do not open information in a New Window, and you should not use the Back or Refresh hot-keys. Use the Precise bar instead.
