    1717  ''This will make the query module the default handler for the “View Tickets” navigation item. We encourage you to try this configuration and report back what kind of features of reports you are missing, if any.''

    1920A report consists of these basic parts:
    2021 * '''ID''' -- Unique (sequential) identifier
     
    2930If a column header is a hyperlink (red), click the column you would like to sort by. Clicking the same header again reverses the order.

     32== Changing Report Numbering ==
     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 (as of 0.10):
     34 * id integer PRIMARY KEY
     35 * author text
     36 * title text
     37 * query text
     38 * description text
     39Changing the ID changes the shown order and number in the ''Available Reports'' list and the report's perma-link. This is done by running something like:
     40{{{
     41update report set id=5 where id=3;
     42}}}
     43Keep 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).
     44
     45You may also need to update or remove the report number stored in the report or query.
     46
     47== Navigating Tickets ==
     48Clicking 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.
     49
     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)''

    6181The ''ticket'' table has the following columns:
    6282 * id
     83 * type
    6384 * time
    6485 * changetime
     
    7596 * summary
    7697 * description
     98 * keywords

    78100See TracTickets for a detailed description of the column fields.
     
    101123Example:
    102124{{{
    103 SELECT id AS ticket,summary FROM ticket WHERE priority='$PRIORITY'
    104 }}}
    105 
    106 To assign a value to $PRIORITY when viewing the report, you must define it as an argument in the report URL, leaving out the the leading '$'.
     125SELECT id AS ticket,summary FROM ticket WHERE priority=$PRIORITY
     126}}}
     127
     128To assign a value to $PRIORITY when viewing the report, you must define it as an argument in the report URL, leaving out the leading '$'.

    145167=== Automatically formatted columns ===
    146168 * '''ticket''' -- Ticket ID number. Becomes a hyperlink to that ticket.
     169 * '''id''' -- same as '''ticket''' above when '''realm''' is not set
     170 * '''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)
    147171 * '''created, modified, date, time''' -- Format cell as a date and/or time.
    148 
    149172 * '''description''' -- Ticket description field, parsed through the wiki engine.
    150173
     
    153176SELECT id as ticket, created, status, summary FROM ticket

     178
     179Those columns can also be defined but marked as hidden, see [#column-syntax below].
    155180
    156181=== Custom formatting columns ===
     
    160185 * '''`__group__`''' -- Group results based on values in this column. Each group will have its own header and table.
    161186 * '''`__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.

     214=== Changing layout of report rows === #column-syntax
    180215By default, all columns on each row are display on a single row in the HTML
    181216report, possibly formatted according to the descriptions above. However, it's
     
    187222
    188223 * '''`_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.

    190226'''Example:''' ''List active tickets, grouped by milestone, colored by priority, with  description and multi-line layout''
     
    209245=== Reporting on custom fields ===
    210246
    211 If you have added custom fields to your tickets (experimental feature in v0.8, see TracTicketsCustomFields), you can write a SQL query to cover them. You'll need to make a join on the ticket_custom table, but this isn't especially easy.
    212 
    213 If you have tickets in the database ''before'' you declare the extra fields in trac.ini, there will be no associated data in the ticket_custom table. To get around this, use SQL's "LEFT OUTER JOIN" clauses. See TracIniReportCustomFieldSample for some examples.
