    1817  ''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.''

    2020A report consists of these basic parts: 
    2121 * '''ID''' -- Unique (sequential) identifier  
     
    3030If a column header is a hyperlink (red), click the column you would like to sort by. Clicking the same header again reverses the order. 
    3131 
     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)'' 
    3251 
    3352== Alternative Download Formats == 
     
    6281The ''ticket'' table has the following columns: 
    6382 * id 
     83 * type 
    6484 * time 
    6585 * changetime 
     
    7696 * summary 
    7797 * description 
     98 * keywords 
    7899 
    79100See TracTickets for a detailed description of the column fields.

    106  
    107 To assign a value to $PRIORITY when viewing the report, you must define it as an argument in the report URL, leaving out the the leading '$'.

    146167=== Automatically formatted columns === 
    147168 * '''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) 
    148171 * '''created, modified, date, time''' -- Format cell as a date and/or time. 
    149  
    150172 * '''description''' -- Ticket description field, parsed through the wiki engine. 
    151173 
    152174'''Example:''' 
    153175{{{ 
    154 SELECT id as ticket, created, status, summary FROM ticket  
    155 }}} 
     176SELECT id AS ticket, created, status, summary FROM ticket  
     177}}} 
     178 
     179Those columns can also be defined but marked as hidden, see [#column-syntax below]. 
    156180 
    157181=== Custom formatting columns === 
     
    161185 * '''`__group__`''' -- Group results based on values in this column. Each group will have its own header and table. 
    162186 * '''`__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.

    180 === Changing layout of report rows === 
     214=== Changing layout of report rows === #column-syntax 
    181215By default, all columns on each row are display on a single row in the HTML 
    182216report, possibly formatted according to the descriptions above. However, it's 
     
    188222 
    189223 * '''`_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.

    191226'''Example:''' ''List active tickets, grouped by milestone, colored by priority, with  description and multi-line layout'' 
     
    210245=== Reporting on custom fields === 
    211246 
    212 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. 
    213  
    214 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.
