# Create an Interactive Report

These steps guide you through making an Interactive Report.

   **Note:** If no data source is listed in the dialog box, contact your administrator for help.
3. To add your first column, click and drag a field from the **Data** tab in the left panel.
4. Drag the field over the report canvas on the right until a vertical line appears, then drop the field in place. This field becomes a column in your report.

5. Continue to drag and drop fields on to the report canvas until you have all of the columns of your report in place.

   You can rearrange the order of the columns by clicking on the headers and dragging the columns to the right or left of their current location. When a green line appears, you can drop the column there. You can also resize your columns by selecting the bar to the right or left of the column header and dragging it until your columns are the correct size.
6. Rename your report by double-clicking on **Untitled**in the **Report Canvas**, and typing a name in the field that appears.

7. Click the **Save As** in the toolbar.

   When the **Save As** dialog box appears, type a file name for your report, choose a location to save it in, and click **Save**.

Your new interactive report is created and saved in the location of your choice.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/pentaho-interactive-reports-cp/create-an-interactive-report.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
