Naming and Saving

Figure 1. Saving the report

The final step of the wizard is to name the report and save the report. When saving the report the option to make the report either static or dynamic is available. Remember; the static report captures the data based upon when the report was first run, the dynamic report captures the data based upon each time the report is run. If there is nothing to change click on Finish and OpenOffice Base will create the report.
