Systems and methods are provided for searching and displaying reports to a
user. In one embodiment, the user selects an item from a displayed list
of reporting objects. Based on the user's selection, a list of report
topics available for the selected item is determined and presented to the
user. In response, the user may select a report topic and, thereafter,
the appropriate available report(s) may be directly presented or
displayed to the user without any further user interaction. In one
embodiment, an appropriate updated report may be generated in response to
the user's selections. In another embodiment, the list of reporting
topics is determined implicitly for the objects associated with the
context the user is working in.
