# SPC:Perspective:GUI:Prepare SPC Report

### Configure the Report
The [Report Viewer](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-report-viewer) is a standard Ignition component. Please refer to the Ignition User Manual for instructions on how to create/modify reports.

In this tutorial, the report has been created with several **Report Parameters** that collect values from the **SPC Selector** (Tag Sample Collector data sources) and **DateTime**components (start and end dates):

Choose one of the three attributes and some control limits and/or the signal you configured the Sample Definition for earlier. The report will update automatically on each property change.
