Is there a good reference for the built in report framework? I haven't been able to find anything comprehensive. I am looking to not use the Microsoft Reporting features, and just what is built into Aras.
So far it seems pretty straightforward to write an AML query, and then use that info in an XSL style sheet. A few questions:
1. What is the difference between server and client reports? Server reports don't actually work for me at the moment, says I am missing msxml 4, which I am not (nor is my server).
2. Some of the client reports specify a method (writen in JS for the client side ones). I looked at the workflow history report. I don't understand how this relates to the report item. It seems like the info is gathered in the query specified in the report, so I am not sure where the method comes in.
Any other hints or insights to report building would be helpful, thanks,
Scott

Ok, seems like I didn't search very well the first time around. Partial answer to question 2: Seems like the method causes the report to ignore the query and style sheet fields. I guess this would allow to do much more complex queries, which is great.
