Reports Wizard: application for the reporting in Lotus Notes. Help: Settings document Path.

The settings documents must define the placement of all databases whose documents can be used as data sources for a report. One such document can describe several databases in case all they contain data of the same type. For example, the data partitioned by projects, years, etc. The databases described in a settings document Path should have the same or similar template NTF. Moreover, a setting Path can contain views and forms descriptions contained in a database for setting up contextual reporting.
