Improved the report displaying in clients.See http://forum.teradp.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=755&FORUM_ID=13&#3617 for more info about it.

Now it is possible to save the report data to the local file system. There are two available formats: XML and CSV. Added the 'Save To File' button to the report designer tab (beside the 'Refresh' button). Clicking on the 'Save To File' button, the user is prompted to select the file path and if saving the report data as XML file or CSV file. The CSV file can be open in Excel for further processing - e.g. to produce a graph. The XML file is created using the report XML internal format (see http://forum.teradp.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=702&FORUM_ID=8#3138 for more info about the report XML syntax). Added the 'Save To File' menu command too.

In GN4 clients, now it is possible to interact with the report results using the directory styles configured into the ReportOptions. It is possible to do things like: 1. in a report about pages open one of the listed pages in the page designer; 2. in a report about edition open one of the listed edition either in the edition or tracking designers; 3. open property form pop-ups of the objects listed in the report; See http://forum.teradp.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=755&FORUM_ID=13#3618 for more info about how to interact with the report results.

In GN4 clients, now the reports can be automatically refreshed at specified time intervals. Every report designer displays a combo-box with the allowed refreshing intervals: Off (no refreshing), 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. The current time interval is saved into the workspace data; so, it is automatically restored when loading the workspace. Added a preferences dialog ('Reports->Preferences' menu command in the Reports tab) to set the default value of the auto-refresh time interval (this value is stored into the Report_AutoRefreshSeconds attribute of the Editorial_SystemUserConfig configuration file).

In GN4 clients, at the top of each report, added a description of the search conditions used to generate it - similarly to what the 'Shell' tab does. It is useful when generating various report with different parameters side-by-side to see which is which.

In client Reports tab, changed the 'Max Rows' label to the (more correct) 'Max Objects Read From Database' label. This value indicates the maximum number of object returned by the search on database, and it could not correspond to the actual number of report rows. The 'Max Objects Read From Database' value is stored into the workspace. The default value is 1000: it can be changed opening the 'Reports Preferences' dialog from menu.
