    2120A report consists of these basic parts: 
    22  * '''ID''' -- Unique (sequential) identifier  
    23  * '''Title'''  -- Descriptive title 
    24  * '''Description'''  -- A brief description of the report, in WikiFormatting text. 
    25  * '''Report Body''' -- List of results from report query, formatted according to the methods described below. 
    26  * '''Footer''' -- Links to alternative download formats for this report.

     23 * '''Description''' A brief description of the report, in WikiFormatting text. 
     24 * '''Report Body''' List of results from report query, formatted according to the methods described below.

    3332== Changing Report Numbering == 
    34 There may be instances where you need to change the ID of the report, perhaps to organize the reports better. At present this requires changes to the trac database. The ''report'' table has the following schema (as of 0.10): 
     33There may be instances where you need to change the ID of the report, perhaps to organize the reports better. At present this requires changes to the trac database. The ''report'' table has the following schema ''(since 0.10)'': 
    3534 * id integer PRIMARY KEY 
    3635 * author text 
     
    4443Keep in mind that the integrity has to be maintained (i.e., ID has to be unique, and you don't want to exceed the max, since that's managed by SQLite someplace). 
    4544 
     45You may also need to update or remove the report number stored in the report or query. 
     46 
    4647== Navigating Tickets == 
    4748Clicking on one of the report results will take you to that ticket. You can navigate through the results by clicking the ''Next Ticket'' or ''Previous Ticket'' links just below the main menu bar, or click the ''Back to Report'' link to return to the report page. 
    4849 
    49 You can safely edit any of the tickets and continue to navigate through the results using the Next/Previous/Back to Report links after saving your results, but when you return to the report, there will be no hint about what has changed, as would happen if you were navigating a list of tickets obtained from a query (see TracQuery#NavigatingTickets). ''(since 0.11)'' 
     50You can safely edit any of the tickets and continue to navigate through the results using the ''!Next/Previous/Back to Report'' links after saving your results, but when you return to the report, there will be no hint about what has changed, as would happen if you were navigating a list of tickets obtained from a query (see TracQuery#NavigatingTickets). ''(since 0.11)''

    5152== Alternative Download Formats == 
     
    5657=== Comma-delimited - CSV (Comma Separated Values) === 
    5758Export the report as plain text, each row on its own line, columns separated by a single comma (','). 
    58 '''Note:''' Carriage returns, line feeds, and commas are stripped from column data to preserve the CSV structure. 
     59'''Note:''' The output is fully escaped so carriage returns, line feeds, and commas will be preserved in the output.

    6061=== Tab-delimited === 
     
    7273A report is basically a single named SQL query, executed and presented by 
    7374Trac.  Reports can be viewed and created from a custom SQL expression directly 
    74 in from the web interface.

    7677Typically, a report consists of a SELECT-expression from the 'ticket' table, 
     
    99100See TracTickets for a detailed description of the column fields. 
    100101 
    101 '''all active tickets, sorted by priority and time'''

    115112== Advanced Reports: Dynamic Variables == 
     
    140137 
    141138 
    142 === Special/Constant Variables === 
    143 There is one ''magic'' dynamic variable to allow practical reports, its value automatically set without having to change the URL.  
    144  
    145  * $USER -- Username of logged in user. 
     139=== !Special/Constant Variables === 
     140There is one dynamic variable whose value is set automatically (the URL does not have to be changed) to allow practical reports.  
     141 
     142 * $USER Username of logged in user.

    165162 
    166163=== Automatically formatted columns === 
    167  * '''ticket''' -- Ticket ID number. Becomes a hyperlink to that ticket.  
    168  * '''created, modified, date, time''' -- Format cell as a date and/or time. 
    169  
    170  * '''description''' -- Ticket description field, parsed through the wiki engine. 
     164 * '''ticket''' — Ticket ID number. Becomes a hyperlink to that ticket.  
     165 * '''id''' — same as '''ticket''' above when '''realm''' is not set 
     166 * '''realm''' — together with '''id''', can be used to create links to other resources than tickets (e.g. a realm of ''wiki'' and an ''id'' to a page name will create a link to that wiki page) 
     167 * '''created, modified, date, time''' — Format cell as a date and/or time. 
     168 * '''description''' — Ticket description field, parsed through the wiki engine. 
    171169 
    172170'''Example:''' 
    173171{{{ 
    174 SELECT id as ticket, created, status, summary FROM ticket  
    175 }}} 
     172SELECT id AS ticket, created, status, summary FROM ticket  
     173}}} 
     174 
     175Those columns can also be defined but marked as hidden, see [#column-syntax below]. 
     176 
     177See trac:wiki/CookBook/Configuration/Reports for some example of creating reports for realms other than ''ticket''.

    177179=== Custom formatting columns === 
     
    179181assumed to be ''formatting hints'', affecting the appearance of the row. 
    180182  
    181  * '''`__group__`''' -- Group results based on values in this column. Each group will have its own header and table. 
    182  * '''`__color__`''' -- Should be a numeric value ranging from 1 to 5 to select a pre-defined row color. Typically used to color rows by issue priority. 
     183 * '''`__group__`''' — Group results based on values in this column. Each group will have its own header and table. 
     184 * '''`__grouplink__`''' — Make the header of each group a link to the specified URL. The URL is taken from the first row of each group. 
     185 * '''`__color__`''' — Should be a numeric value ranging from 1 to 5 to select a pre-defined row color. Typically used to color rows by issue priority. 
    183186{{{

    191194</div> 
    192195}}} 
    193  * '''`__style__`''' -- A custom CSS style expression to use for the current row.  
    194  
    195 '''Example:''' ''List active tickets, grouped by milestone, colored by priority'' 
     196 * '''`__style__`''' A custom CSS style expression to use for the current row.  
     197 
     198'''Example:''' ''List active tickets, grouped by milestone, group header linked to milestone page, colored by priority'' 
    196199{{{ 
    197200SELECT p.value AS __color__,

    210 === Changing layout of report rows === 
     214=== Changing layout of report rows === #column-syntax 
    211215By default, all columns on each row are display on a single row in the HTML 
    212216report, possibly formatted according to the descriptions above. However, it's 
    213217also possible to create multi-line report entries. 
    214218 
    215  * '''`column_`''' -- ''Break row after this''. By appending an underscore ('_') to the column name, the remaining columns will be be continued on a second line. 
    216  
    217  * '''`_column_`''' -- ''Full row''. By adding an underscore ('_') both at the beginning and the end of a column name, the data will be shown on a separate row. 
    218  
    219  * '''`_column`'''  --  ''Hide data''. Prepending an underscore ('_') to a column name instructs Trac to hide the contents from the HTML output. This is useful for information to be visible only if downloaded in other formats (like CSV or RSS/XML). 
     219 * '''`column_`''' — ''Break row after this''. By appending an underscore ('_') to the column name, the remaining columns will be continued on a second line. 
     220 
     221 * '''`_column_`''' — ''Full row''. By adding an underscore ('_') both at the beginning and the end of a column name, the data will be shown on a separate row. 
     222 
     223 * '''`_column`''' — ''Hide data''. Prepending an underscore ('_') to a column name instructs Trac to hide the contents from the HTML output. This is useful for information to be visible only if downloaded in other formats (like CSV or RSS/XML). 
     224   This can be used to hide any kind of column, even important ones required for identifying the resource, e.g. `id as _id` will hide the '''Id''' column but the link to the ticket will be present.
