It will not be possible to preview this report, as you have not selected any table(s) nor selected any fields from the tables in the '''Report Builder'''.
An enhanced version of the report builder has entered the beta stage. The new report builder allows for greater control of reports and features a more intuitive user interface.
*When creating a new report, a user now has the option of using the classic report builder or the new report builder.
