What's the difference between Report Writer and Table Lists?

The 2018.05 release will include both the Report Writer and Table Lists. The Report Writer adds tables with linked information to the report set up for you while you need to add the linked tables by hand to a Table List. If you create a Table List that is missing a linked table, the report will not print correctly. The Report Writer will find all of the linked tables and add them to the report setup for you.

Use Table Lists to print forms, lists, and labels. Use the new Report Writer to print lists. The lists that you have set up in Table Lists will be converted to the Report Writer. You will be able to access your lists using Table Lists and the Report Writer. If you're using forms or labels, continue to use Table Lists. Forms and labels will move to the Report Writer in a future release.
